Give Your Garden A Make Over
Posted by Sally Robson on Sunday, February 14, 2010 Under: Gardening
Its almost summer. What are you planning to do with your garden? Why not change it completely?
There are many methods of giving your garden a make over, so that you can add interest to the garden. Anything that becomes a focal point, will add interest and that can range from garden sculptures, water features, rockeries and even to the types of plants you choose.
Adding block plantings, of a particular specimen, can also become a focal point in the garden.
Just by adding areas of variegated foliage, you can create a focal point in the garden and make it look different. Why not create a different look and feel to your garden? There are many things you can do. Just think about it.
Seats are an item that can add interest to the garden and additionally, they can offer a nice place to rest and to relax, while you admire your handiwork.
Mirrors that are strategically placed, can enhance the garden in many ways. They can bring reflected light to dark corners of the garden. They can also give the impression that the garden is bigger, or alternatively they can give the impression that the open space is bigger.
Placed at various angles, mirrors can add a lot of fun and interest to a garden and help to lead a visitor on to other areas.
Using hedges can also add interest to the garden, while offering protection to the plants. Hedges are also an excellent way to gain privacy, without feeling closed in.
Water features are a favourite, for many people and the sound of running water in the corner of a garden, can add an atmosphere of calm and relaxation.
Water features can also be good for the birds in the garden, particularly in the summer months, when they might find it difficult to find water lying around, to suit their needs.
As with sculptures, stones, rocks and pebbles can also add interest and offer areas where you can walk, even when the surrounding ground might be too wet. Shells also make a good cover on the ground, for paths that can remain dry in the wet season.
There are so many different things that you can put in your garden, to add interest. Everything from old cartwheels, to wind chimes, aviaries, or anything else you can imagine.
Think about it and then do something to change your garden. Make it different. It doesn’t cost much and you will enjoy making new features. Perhaps you decide to go the whole hog and try some landscaping?
Involve the kids or grandkids. Get them involved, work together and make your garden special.
Why not make a "fairy garden"? Learn the art of turning an ordinary garden into an extraordinary fairy paradise ... and watch as garden fairies clamour to play and perform magic in your enchanted garden.
