Inspiration in Your Garden

Think about the colour combinations when creating a garden, as well as considering the shape and sculptural elements. Does it flow? It may be the leaves rather than the flowers that are the main feature of the plant. These plants are valuable in your garden for all year round interest. Is there a point of focus somewhere in your garden at any time of the year? Do the plants compliment the style and colour of your house? The right plant in the right place can disguise or enhance a wall. Does your garden make you smile?
