- The garden should never be cluttered. That’s why; you need to put few plants in one space together.
- You can select those kinds of plants that are available at that time. But always try to put more emphasis on co-ordination and color rather that type.
- For the upcoming spring you can opt for daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, primroses, pansies and so on.
- If possible then you can add healthy herbs like sage, lavender or thyme.
- Part from plants you garden needs to contain a bird bath and fountain. It’s not only nice looking but it provides one element that is water, among the five elements.

- A bench, the arbor and the planting boxes can include the wood element in your garden.
- You can have wind chimes and arbor to have the metal element.
- And finally, to represent the earth element, you can have clay pots, boulder and soil.
