Gardens need common ground to grow together - plants, stones or water. These elements provide the nurturing environment needed for plants to flourish. In order for gardens to function properly, all elements must be in harmony. This can be difficult to achieve, but with a little planning and effort, gardens can thrive.
Gardens need order and symmetry beds and borders should be consistent in shape and size. This will help to create a strong graphical effect, and make the garden look more cohesive.
The garden can look much neater and tidy if unnecessary plants and objects are removed. This can be done by pulling out any sticks, branches or leaves that are in the way. It is also worth taking a look around the garden to see if there are any items that could be removed, such as old toys or furniture.
By planting clusters of trees and shrubs, you can create the look of a natural forest. This will help to create a warm and inviting space in your garden, while also providing plenty of shade.
There are many paths to choose from in a garden. A few pathways with stepping stones or flagstones can make getting around the garden a breeze.
Add some brightly coloured flowers and foliage to your Zen garden space to liven up the look and add a touch of nature. Choose flowers that are cheerful and cheerful-looking, such as daffodils or carnations. Foliage options can include ivy or greenery in bright colours, such as yellows, oranges, or purples.
