Plant Type

Grouping plants together by type makes it easy for potential amateur gardeners to understand which types of plants work well together. Arrange plants according to the required amount of sunlight and the amount of watering needed for survival as well. Individuals unfamiliar with the intricacies of gardening will appreciate the ease in which they can learn how to put their yard in place. Large leafy green plants in one section, shrubbery bushes in another, and short potted plants in a third area, all lined next to each other, are appropriate options.
Color
-
Whether a change of seasons is in the air or not, grouping plants together by color is visually appealing and stimulating. One way to make this arrangement is to create a large circle with multiple circles inside of it. For example, if highlighting fall plants, first create an outer ring of red budded plants. Next, make an orange ring, followed by a golden ring and finally yellow. Place all green plants in the center for added effect.

Elevated Viewing Options
-
Whether you use risers or cement building blocks, homemade wooden benches or plant stands, elevating plants for display enables potential buyers to view the products from multiple angles. For an inexpensive way to make plants visually appealing, hit the thrift stores and pick up small iron framed tables. Wooden bookshelves are also an option. Remove the backing to allow ample sunlight to hit plants from both sides. An old bed frame can also be turned into a bookshelf style display unit by adding wood panels in the center.
Hanging
-
If interested in displaying plants intended to hang from ceilings or gazebos, erect a similar structure. Various options are available, from utilizing a pre-made wall to building one from scratch. Use a lattice board with diamond shaped openings as a display roof, and secure hooks in the frame to hang chained planters underneath. Arrange the hanging pots of plants by flowering or simply green leaves. Build sidewalls out of the same materials and in the same pattern for a full greenhouse effect.
