Writing with Bedding Plants
Using flowers to make words involves planting colorful flowering plants, usually annuals, close together so that they resemble a carpet – which is why this method of planting may also be referred to as carpet bedding. Forming words with plants works best if you have a fairly large space too. This allows you the room to spell out a word, like a name, or even to create interesting shapes or geometric designs.
Choosing Carpet Bedding Plants
Look for dense, low-growing plants for carpet bedding in gardens. The plants should be bold colors that will show up. Limit your design to a single color for each letter. A few examples of carpet bedding plants include:
Pansies Ageratum Nicotiana Alyssum Nemesia Lobelia

That’s it! Now that you know how to create your own carpet bedding design, get started and put your garden plants into words.
