Woodland Garden Bed - New Planting Layout

A shaded garden bed designed with layered planting and woodland-style structure.

Overview

This project focuses on creating a new woodland garden bed in a shaded area with mature trees. The goal was to introduce structure, softness, and seasonal interest while working with low light and existing conditions.

Design Thinking

The layout is built around a layered planting structure:

- low groundcovers to create a continuous base - mid-height plants to add volume and texture - taller accents to provide visual anchors

This approach helps the bed feel full and natural while still being organized and easy to maintain.
