Project P%rpose
The p%rpose o! this project is to !ind possi$le designs !or a !lo#er$ed. The design o! a !lo#er$ed is %se!%l !or landscapers& garden designers and home o#ners #ho #ant to design their garden themsel'es. (hen designing a garden )o% m%st !ig%re o%t things li*e the area o! the !lo#er$ed& the shape it #ill ma*e and the length o! the perimeter aro%nd it. +no#ing the area o! a !lo#er $ed is necessar) to !ig%re o%t ho# m%ch space in the garden that it #ill ta*e %p. This also helps !or !ig%ring o%t ho# man) !lo#ers can $e placed inside o! the !lo#er$ed and the amo%nt o! dirt or m%lch that #ill ha'e to $e %sed. The shape o! !lo#er$ed is needed in order to determine the area and perimeter o! it. ,arden designers ma) also create a shape o! the !lo#er$ed !or aesthetic p%rposes. The perimeter ma) also $e needed i! the designers #ish to p%t a !ence& $ric*s or some *ind o! lining aro%nd the !lo#er $ed.
