7. Treat it like a flowerbed.

When designing your garden, create a design just like you would in a border, a flowerbed or an island.

For instance, plant taller items in back, moderate-sized plants in the middle and shorter plants towards the front.

If you are planting in raised beds that can be seen on all sides, place your tallest plants in the middle and work your way down to your shortest plants along the edge.
