Design gardens that look professionally composed with The Trifecta Planting Method Guide—your shortcut to effortless, balanced planting design.
This foundational garden design principle teaches you how to visually balance your garden using the perfect ratio of spike-shaped, mounded, and fan-shaped plants. The guide breaks each form into easy-to-reference plant lists, so you can confidently create texture, depth, and flow in any space.
Next time you plant, simply choose one or more plants from each category, and you’ll achieve that harmonious, designer-quality look every time. Ideal for cottage gardens, pollinator landscapes, and perennial borders in zones 4–9.
Each plan comes with its own specific set of instructions, plant list, and scale.
The plans include one version with and without the scale overlay to make reading and planting a breeze!
The guides are self-explanatory and contain in-depth information about each topic.
