Different types of plants can create a welcoming, vibrant or stable garden personality. For example, choose brightly coloured annuals to add some life and movement to a drab garden, while more neutral plants such as gingkos or camellias are perfect for more traditional gardens. Choose plants with different shapes and textures to add interest and texture, and mix in plants that grow well in both dry and wet areas to ensure your garden is adaptable no matter the weather.
What could be more romantic than sitting together in candle light, listening to mellow music and enjoying some beautiful flowers? This is a perfect way to Express your love and appreciation for one another.
A gazebo or pergola can give your garden a focal point and make it more beautiful. Gazebos and pergolas are both good ideas for summertime entertaining, as they provide plenty of shade and are perfect places to relax and enjoy the outdoors. You can also use them to get some extra sun during the blistering summer months. Gazebos and pergolas come in all shapes and sizes, so find one that will perfectly fit your garden.
Do you like to garden? If so, then you might enjoy growing plant clusters. Plant clusters are groups of plants that are grown together and they will often produce fruit or flowers. Plant clusters look attractive and can be a focal point in your garden. They can also provide you with fresh vegetables or flowers year-round.
One way to add elegance and sophistication to your garden is by using natural materials to create landscape features. Stones, wood, and plants can all be used to create attractive patterns and designs. Select stones that are both striking and complementary in color. For example, if you are using stones with a blue hue, choose stones with colors such as green or yellow to help balance the look. Select wood that is not only attractive but also durable. Timber that is properly treated can last for many years in a garden setting. Be sure to include perennial plants that will provide nice visual interest over time. By using natural materials in your garden, you can achieve a sophisticated look that is both unique and beautiful.
Choose flowers, trees or shrubs that can be used to frame views of the outdoors. Plant these around spaces in your garden that will offer a natural backdrop to your activities. Flowers and shrubs that work well as outdoor framing plants include lilies, roses, Bradford pears, tulips and hydrangeas.
Adding a water feature, such as a potted Koi pond, to your garden gazebo can add a lot of life and interest to your garden. Not only will you have a fun place to sit and relax, but the fish will provide a beautiful bonus amenity.
Adding a little theatre to your outdoor gazebo can make it more inviting and comfortable. A projection screen and comfortable seating can make it the perfect place to relax and watch a movie or TV show.
