Different Shapes of the Circle Gardens

An exciting trend in the gardening world is the use of circular gardens, which surprisingly come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Circular gardens keep your plants in close proximity to each other and form the focal point of any garden, regardless of what type of circular garden you use. Adding larger plants or designer hardscapes like trellises and obelisks are perfect for these gardens. In this article we want to look at a few ideas for the perfect circular garden, depending on what type you want to pursue.

Stick to a simple design
The most popular district gardens are simply designed, as the name suggests. The gardener can use a variety of different materials including brick, lumber, stone, concrete and many others to create a circle at any point in the garden or living space. The circle is constructed in the size that best suits the garden or living space. It doesn’t cover the entire area, but leaves enough space on both sides of the structure to make planting, walking and watering easier.

Different forms of the Circle Garden
While maintaining the full shape of the circle in the center of your garden may be the most attractive option for many gardeners, for others, using just a half or quarter circle is often desirable or simply necessary. This method of using the different parts of a circle allows you to build on the simplicity of the common full circle while creating your own garden. Take advantage of the circle’s versatility and often hard or soft edges to complement the space in which you garden.

Fill the circle
When filling your circle garden, place flowers and other greenery within the framework of the garden, being careful not to overcrowd the planting space. Make sure splashes find their way to creep around the edges, while also making sure the background plants make the rest of the garden stand out to everyone who sees it. Don’t overcrowd the garden and make sure the plants have room to reach their full size throughout the growing season.

Framing the garden
After you’ve created your circle garden, you’ll probably want to find a way to frame the garden you’ve created. At this point the ideas are varied and you really can’t go wrong with the garden as long as you’re happy with it. However, basic ideas include using taller bushes or plants, trellises or planters.

Using a circular shape in garden design
