Create A Spectacular Circular Entryway

Construct a stunning circular entry way by using the plant layering technique mentioned in our earlier post.  First, determine the size of the circle for your planter to help determine the size of the plants and focal point to be used.  Then decide what you will use as the focal point (tallest element) in the center.  Will it be a tree, statue, large boulder, water feature, etc.?  Next, determine complimentary plants and colors for the plant rings around it.  These should accent the focal point, be of different heights (from tallest to lowest), and blend well with your overall landscape.  Bricks, edging, pavers, etc. can also be incorporated as a layer.  Then plant it up, following plant spacing instructions and leaving room for plants to fill in, and enjoy.
