- 1). Choose a wagon wheel that suits your gardening needs. For example, a large wagon wheel may look out of place in a garden that only consists of low-rise flowers. The wheel may dominate the garden. Instead, choose a wagon wheel that is twice as tall as the tallest flower in the garden where you want to incorporate the wagon wheel.
- 2). Select the location for the wagon wheel in your flower bed. If you want to use it as a backdrop for your garden, place the wagon wheel behind the tallest flowers or plants, or the plants that are located farthest back in the flower bed. If possible, select a location where the wheel can lean up against a wall or fence.
- 3). To use the wagon wheel to create a barrier between smaller flowers and taller grasses, make space for the wagon wheel between the two.
- 4). Secure the wagon wheel by digging a small crease in the soil. The crease should be as wide as the wagon wheel perimeter and only be the length of the radius of the circle. Put the wagon wheel in the crease, then place the dug-up soil around the wheel to secure it in the ground.
- 5). Place additional plants, flowers or vines around the wagon wheel to incorporate it into the garden setting. The wagon wheel should give the effect that the garden has grown around the wheel. Add vines around the wheel and integrate them into the structure of the wheel.
- 6). Look at the wheel from a distance to determine whether you need to rearrange the flowers or vines around the wagon wheel or in the garden.
