A narrow bed isn't wide enough to show off layers of plants. A flower bed would be wonderful, but with a pond in the center it will be even better. The best way to plant a flower garden is normally on a sloping or level ground, this will help with water runoff, if you plant on a steep slope the soil will erode and get washed away because of the force of the water. Bacteria is very easily spread in the garden, this can be from simple watering of plants or a heavy rainstorm that splashes water to the other flowers. When designing your garden make sure you include the following, mulch for the beds and walkways, concrete, bricks for the walls, any type of accessories for the garden and especially lighting for the garden area.
Bacteria and fungi can be dormant for many years, it lays in the soil and if the right conditions come along it activates and spreads like wild fire. However, the first time you water the soil around your cutting, you may find you need to add more soil. That means that your garden soil may need some amendment.
Such areas are often left with compacted soil due to construction. If your soil is not filled with nutrients then mix in some organic soil and material, this can be from your compost pile or you can purchase organic soil from your local nursery. The problem was that the fill that was trucked in to create this yard was all chunks of blacktop and concrete with a light sprinkling of top soil to cover the chunks.

Tulip bulbs are easily the most recognizable bulb flower in the world today. True bulbs are an incubator for a flower bud embryo already inside. One of the most famous bulbs is tulips, they come in many colors. Perennial flowers or bulbs mean they come back each year and do not have to be replanted because these type of plants will come back each year and bloom, annuals on the other hand will only bloom for one season.
Choosing many different hues in your garden and combining them with sharp colors make the garden much more interesting and full of life. Choosing the right bulbs involves more than just selecting colors and cultivars, you need to be sure you know when the bulbs bloom and how long they last.
Remember a garden will always look good as long as you keep everything alive.
