Metal Garages

Your VersaTube garage provides a perfect opportunity to exercise your creative muscles by adding a garden. The garage will give your plants some shelter from wind and, depending on placement, it may also offer a few hours of precious shade. Moreover, your garage will be the backdrop for your floral display, creating a visually striking feature for your eyes to feast upon. Here are a few creative ideas for landscaping around your VersaTube garage:

Charting a Path

First, consider the space you have to work with. Is there room for a meandering path? Perhaps a straight and narrow walkway fits better for you. You can use stepping stones for that “secret garden” effect or pave a solid walkway for easy access. Once you have a pathway designed, start thinking about the garden bed.

Garden Beds: Choosing the Right Media

Your local climate will influence the types of shrubs, flowers, perennials, succulents, etc. that you end up planting. Choose the proper type of garden bed based on what you plan to plant. Wood chips work great with rose bushes, volcanic rock is perfect for succulents, and good ol’ fashioned dirt is just fine for shrubs of most kinds. Remember, your garden bed will accent the color palette of your plants, so complementary colors are key to making it pop!

Planting

Your local nursery or garden store will have an array of local plants for you to choose from to plant alongside your garage. First, gauge how much sun your garden space gets. Then, pay the garden store a visit and talk to one of the employees there. They’ll be happy to help you select the perfect plants. Here are a few of the most popular ones to keep in mind:

·     Trumpet vines

·     Rose bushes

·     Japanese barberry

·     Bearded iris

·     Horsetail reed bamboo
