Portfolio Case
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.
Before
Plan
Layered woodland planting with groundcover, mid-height plants, and focal accents
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.
Plant list
Rose Creek Abelia
Full Sun
