Design Tips: Creating a Natural Looking Garden

 

Summer is just around the corner and many of you may be thinking about creating the perfect outdoor space for your pets to play. We asked Hailey and Elwin if they had any tips on how to create a natural looking garden and this is what they had to say:

 

ELWIN: If you add more than one of the same type of tree to your garden, try rotating each one in a different direction so they don’t look identical.

 

HAILEY: That is a great tip to making a natural looking garden! For example, look at the first image of the three trees below. The trees look identical in the first image, but in the second image they have been rotated in different directions making them look like 3 different trees! You really notice the difference when you look at their trunks.

 

ELWIN: The same trick applies to the Flagstone Path Tiles. Look at them lined up together facing the same direction. Now compare them to the second picture where each tile has been randomly rotated.

 

HAILEY: It’s amazing how much more natural they look when they are not all facing the same direction!

 

 

ELWIN: Here’s a tip on how to make a natural looking pumpkin patch. Instead of lining up the Giant Pumpkin Patch pumpkins facing the same direction, try randomly rotating them too!

 

HAILEY: You can even mix in a few regular Pumpkin Patch pumpkins to make it look like the pumpkins are in various stages of growth. Both types of Pumpkin Patch pumpkins are available in the Decorations category of the WShop (under “outdoors”)

 

 

 

Thanks Hailey and Elwin! Remember, to rotate an item, click on it while you are in EDIT mode in your pet’s room then use the arrow buttons to rotate your item. Click OK when you are done and you item will be placed back in your room.

      You can find seeds in the FUN STUFF section of the WShop. When you click on the FUN STUFF section, look for the SEEDS tab at the top of the shop and click on it to see what’s for sale…

    Thanks for the awesome tips! I’m going to try and make my first gardens. One veggie garden, gotta try it and see if I can earn some extra Kinzcash. The second one I want to make for fun and beauty. I think it would be nice to have a quiet garden spot to sit and do puzzles or read a book with my pets. For all of us gardeners out there, have fun and good luck!

    Thanks for the tips! But how do we incorporate growing garden seeds in naturally? Their soil is a different shade.

    • Michael Webkinz says:

      Hi RunningstarVJ. Try planting the growing garden seeds a few days apart. That way they will all grow at a different rate and look like a natural vegetable garden. I hope this was helpful…

    I love how the flagstone tiles look when they are all mixed around! Totally looks like a natural path you would find in the woods :)
