French garden

Spring is calling you? It's calling me!!
I have been planning my garden, we don't have the landscaping yet here. My first project will be a formal veggie garden. 
This book has been a great inspiration for me.

Here is my planning...

For each elements many choices can be found...

Beds material : Can be made of... wood frames, bricks, boxwood (the boxwood takes more room). 


Towers in each beds : Roses, Green beans, tomatoes...anything vines.


Arches at each entry : Roses, Honeysuckle, Wisteria, vines.


Middle of garden tree : Rose tree, dwarf fruit tree, any ornamental tree. Statue, standing fountain...Standing garden ornament.


Another design here...

Arches.....

Back of the garden focal point...It could also be a statue or bench...

Keep in mind to limit the use of the same element to one... like a fountain or statue. The same plant and color can be repeated. Think balance. and symmetries.

You can plant the beds with flowers, repeating the same patterns in all of them, rotate plantings in beds every few years for a veggie garden, keep in mind that one of the bed might be permanent with herbs.
Make sure the beds have adequate sun exposure for your plantings. 


Here is my garden plans so far for each beds :
