Another great part about landscaping is that it can change your surroundings instantly making them brighter and fresher.
While creating the house of your dreams you definitely think alot about the interiors, the paint, soft furnishing and everything from start to finish. But what often gets neglected are the exterior and the landscaping. The real view of the house comes from the outside hence landscaping is a crucial part of building your dream place. Another great part about landscaping is that it can change your surroundings instantly making them brighter and more fresh. If you are going in with a renovation around the house make sure to get your garden or backyard checked for soil fertility for a healthy garden.
Here are some foundation plant recommendations you can get from Irene's floral design, St Louis Florist.
You would have to observe the amount of light your garden or backyard gets. Because plants are particular about the amount of light exposure they need. Some plants grow well in bright direct light, some need bright but indirect light and others do good in shade. Just observe which part of your garden gets the most amount of light and for how many hours. Similarly check for the areas that don't get sun at all. Now once you have figured that out, the plants that grow well in direct sunlight are Summer Lilac, Azalea, Dogwood and Hydrangeas.
So generally, there are two major kinds of foundation plants: greens and flowering. The green ones are easier to maintain but with a little more attention you can do good with flowering ones as well. Since foundation plants are just shrubs, it can get a little messy and look like just an overgrowth. To avoid that it is always great to know your plants and what goes with what. Before planting a bunch of shrubs together make sure their light and water intake are similar. You can also do sections of seasonal flowering shrubs which would look mesmerizing. A corner for every season!
With outdoor plants you can go with a variety of different textures and types. Arrange a layer or plants that grow close to the ground and right behind it begin planting plants according to their growth and height. This will provide you with a lot of dimensions and a better view of all your lovely plants. With Plants Delivery in St Louis MO you can get any plant at your doorstep so you keep experimenting.
You can definitely hire someone to maintain your garden for you but if you are ready to take it up by yourself then you definitely should start with something basic like indoor plants. You can get indoor plants Delivery and get comfortable and well acquainted with raising a plant before directly diving into gardening.
Always begin with some plants which are easy to grow and don't wilt or dry out easily. Some plants we recommend are snake plant, Juniper, Catmint, and Panicle Hydrangea. These are flowering plants that will bring a pop of color to your garden and keep it smelling amazing. With a plant shop near St Louis MO you can easily get your hands on these plants and more.

Unlock Positive Energy: Transform Your Front Yard with Feng Shui Tips
- Importance of Feng Shui in Front Yard Design
- Choosing the Right Plants and Trees for Positive Energy
- Creating a Welcoming Entrance with Feng Shui Elements
- Balancing Water Features for Harmony and Prosperity
- Enhancing Curb Appeal with Feng Shui Colors
- Maintaining Cleanliness and Organization in the Front Yard
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on harmonizing individuals with their environment to promote positive energy flow. When applied to the front yard, Feng Shui principles can enhance the overall energy of your home and create a welcoming atmosphere for both residents and visitors. By incorporating elements such as plants, water features, colors, and organization, you can transform your front yard into a space that radiates harmony and prosperity. Join us as we explore how to unlock positive energy through the art of Feng Shui in your outdoor space.
Importance of Feng Shui in Front Yard Design
The front yard is the first impression visitors and passersby have of your home, making it crucial in Feng Shui practice. Feng Shui principles aim to create a harmonious environment that promotes positive energy flow, known as Qi. By applying these principles to your front yard design, you can enhance the overall energy of your home and invite prosperity and good fortune into your life. A well-balanced and harmonious front yard can also improve the overall well-being of those living in the house by creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.
Choosing the Right Plants and Trees for Positive Energy
Choosing the right plants and trees for your front yard is crucial in promoting positive energy according to Feng Shui principles. Opt for plants that are lush, vibrant, and healthy as they symbolize growth and vitality. Consider incorporating plants with rounded leaves as they are believed to attract good fortune. Bamboo is a popular choice for its association with prosperity and luck. Trees like the money tree or jade plant are also great options for inviting abundance into your space. Remember to keep your plants well-maintained to ensure they continue to radiate positive energy throughout your front yard.
Creating a Welcoming Entrance with Feng Shui Elements
Creating a welcoming entrance with Feng Shui elements is essential to invite positive energy into your home. Start by ensuring that the pathway to your front door is clear and unobstructed, allowing Chi (energy) to flow freely. Consider adding plants or flowers on either side of the entrance to symbolize growth and vitality. A sturdy doormat at the entrance can help trap negative energy before it enters your home. Incorporating a wind chime near the front door can also attract good vibes and create a harmonious atmosphere for all who enter.
Balancing Water Features for Harmony and Prosperity
Water features play a crucial role in Feng Shui front yard design, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. To ensure harmony, it is essential to balance water elements properly. Placing a fountain or birdbath towards the front center of the yard can invite positive energy. The flow of water should be gentle and meandering to encourage the circulation of Chi, promoting abundance and well-being. Avoid stagnant water or overgrown aquatic plants, as they can hinder the flow of positive energy in your space.
Enhancing Curb Appeal with Feng Shui Colors
Color plays a significant role in Feng Shui as it can affect the energy flow in your front yard. When choosing colors for your outdoor space, consider the five elements of Feng Shui: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element corresponds to specific colors that can enhance different aspects of your life. For example, green represents growth and vitality, making it ideal for promoting health and prosperity. Red symbolizes passion and energy, while yellow is associated with happiness and positivity. By incorporating these colors strategically in your front yard design through flowers, paint, or decor accents, you can create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere that attracts positive energy and good fortune.
Maintaining Cleanliness and Organization in the Front Yard
Maintaining cleanliness and organization in your front yard is essential for promoting positive energy flow according to Feng Shui principles. Clutter and debris can block the flow of chi, creating stagnation and hindering prosperity. Regularly remove dead plants, weeds, and any broken or unused items to keep the energy vibrant and fresh. Organize garden tools, pots, and decorations neatly to create a sense of order and harmony. By keeping your front yard clean and organized, you invite good energy into your home and life.
Incorporating Feng Shui principles into your front yard design can significantly enhance the overall energy and aesthetics of your home. By carefully selecting plants, trees, colors, and elements that promote positive energy flow, you can create a harmonious and welcoming space that not only boosts curb appeal but also invites prosperity and good fortune into your life. Remember to maintain cleanliness and organization in your front yard to ensure that the positive energy remains vibrant. Embrace the ancient art of Feng Shui to transform your front yard into a sanctuary of balance, harmony, and positivity.

There’s an undeniable romance to spectacularly colored gardens filled with fragrant flowers come spring and summertime, and if you’re lucky enough to say “I do” between April and August in the Pacific Northwest, in-season blooms and abundant greenery will be bountiful. Seattle couples don’t need to travel far to find sanctuary at one of the oases found in the city, nearby suburbs or on the neighboring islands. Swoon-worthy spots range from extravagant, English-style gardens with rolling lawns to exotic botanical gardens and tranquil Japanese-inspired landscapes, so consider these new additions and all-time classics for your special day.
Sweeping vistas, woodland trails, expansive gardens and soothing water features are just a few of the stunning features found at Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. For the first time since opening to the public in 1988—it was originally the home of timber giants Prentice and Virginia Bloedel—the beautifully maintained 150-acre property is opening its gardens to two weddings per year for those who want to indulge in an exclusive splurge; couples marrying at the reserve have access to the site and amenities for a three-day period. Expect an abundance of candelabra and other primroses, royal azaleas, magnolias and a multitude of species of rhododendrons all over the grounds. A vast array of perennial shrubs and trees native to the Northwest also give the property a magical, woodland garden feel. Ceremonies held on the outdoor lawn areas can accommodate as many as 300 people, while the former 1920s-style.
Bloedel residence offers a resplendent event space and unimpeded view of Puget Sound, and can accommodate 75 standing guests. For a more intimate affair, choose the ’60s-style Japanese guest house, designed by Paul Kirk, which can hold as many as 40 guests for a standing cocktail reception. For dinner, bring in your own caterer, to be approved by Bloedel’s on-site event planner, or choose one from the reserve’s preferred caterer list.
The details: A full buyout of the wedding property is $50,000, with a $10,000 deposit due upon booking. Couples who wed here are required to become members of the Bloedel Society, which is an additional $10,000.

Ideal for city-dwelling couples who dream of a destination wedding without going far from home, Froggsong Gardens—a property managed by Herban Feast (the owners of The Foundry and Sodo Park) since 2014—is located an hour from Seattle by ferry on Vashon Island. The enchanting 16-acre garden escape, created by owners Cindy and Steve Stockett, is reminiscent of an English estate, filled with a variety of blooming spring bulbs, such as French tulips, classic Dutch tulips, daffodils, narcissus, hyacinths, crocuses and lilies. (There’s even a hedge maze worthy of a Jane Austen–esque romantic tryst.) The sloping lawn next to the recirculating stream that flows through the property is often used for cocktail hour, but is also perfectly suited to a ceremony. The venue’s covered pavilion and adjoining patio also offer elegant options for celebrations. Plated fare is served on site by Herban Feast’s award-winning catering team. Past menus have included sweet potato and Dungeness crab cakes; roasted beet and pistachio salad baby spring greens with herbed chèvre and a mint-citrus vinaigrette; and peppercorn-crusted beef tenderloin.
The details: All-inclusive price ranges from $150 to $225 per person for a gathering of 100. A nonrefundable deposit of 25 percent is required to reserve a date.

Founded in 1987 by gardeners Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones, Heronswood Garden, a botanical garden in Kingston that opened to weddings in 2013, is renowned for its ample collection of flora from all over the world, boasting more than 8,000 plants species. The fragrant gardens, bursting with magnolias, irises, geraniums, dogwood, peonies, lady slipper orchids as well as the magical blue poppy and the astounding Himalayan lily, are just a few of the flowers you’ll find.
Ceremonies often take place in the well-groomed potager garden—made up of eight garden beds containing a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees and further defined by natural stone pavers that create interconnected walking paths—or on one of the expansive lawns that can accommodate parties with as many as 150 guests. Entrances to the garden are marked with formal hedges and are perfectly suited for wedding photos, which look like something out of a fairy tale. After the ‘I dos,’ direct guests to the venue’s grand wedding tent, outfitted with a fabric ceiling and twinkling lights; there, they will enjoy a custom dinner menu designed by Market Fresh Banquets and Catering.
The details: A wedding held here includes access to the garden grounds, custom tent, bridal suite and groom’s quarters, plus chairs for the ceremony and reception, tables and linens for the reception, cash or host bar and bartender (alcohol not included), cocktail hors d’oeuvres package, and clean-up of grounds for $4,800 for 100 guests; $3,600 for 50 guests. A 50 percent deposit is required.
The lush urban Conservatory || Photography by: Chris Klas Photo
Set in Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park, the Volunteer Park Conservatory offers couples an intimate garden ceremony site to share with close friends and family, all without the risk of getting wet. Built by the Olmstead brothers in 1912, the Victorian-style greenhouse, inspired by London’s Crystal Palace, sustains an assortment of rare ferns, bromeliads, palms and cacti. Couples who book here don’t have to fret about flowers and decor; only hand-held bouquets, corsages and boutonnières are allowed. Say “I do” in the Seasonal House, with its ever-changing spectacle of seasonal flora and space for as many as 25 guests, or opt for exchanging vows amongst vibrantly colored bromeliads and air plants in the Bromeliad House, which can accommodate 12 guests. Afterward, head elsewhere for dinner and dancing, as no food or beverages are allowed in the conservatory.
The details: $150-per-hour site fee with a two-hour minimum; $25-per-hour fee for a park attendant to be on site. No set up is allowed; chairs provided upon request. Ceremonies are not permitted during public hours, which are 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Tranquil Kubota Garden || Photography by: Neal and Saskia Photography
A 4.5-acre spread in the middle of South Seattle, Kubota Garden is a remarkable landscape rich in history. Designed by landscape designer Fujitaro Kubota, the garden opened in 1927 and soon became a cultural keystone for the Japanese community in Seattle. Now a historical landmark, the tranquil garden—tucked away, with streams, waterfalls, ponds and rock outcroppings—remains a peaceful retreat in a bustling neighborhood. Ceremonies held here must take place in the Kubota Terrace; its open lawn can accommodate as many as 150 people. Perhaps the most famous spot on the site (and thus a favorite photo op) is the bright red “Heart Bridge” surrounded by blossoming rhododendrons. For an additional fee, couples can personalize the picturesque setting with a stage or tent.
The details: $175-per-hour site fee with a three-hour minimum; $25 per hour fee for a park attendant to be on site; $75 catering fee; $75 special equipment fee. No alcoholic beverages or amplified sound allowed. Professional photographers are required to have a permit to take pictures in the garden.

SRM is proud to be a West Coast authorized distributor for BioHaven® Floating Islands.
An affordable, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing habitat for birds, fish and insects that cleans the water it floats in!
BioHaven® Floating Islands were developed as a result of research in the rapidly growing science of biomimicry, the study of how natural systems can serve as models for man-made ones. In this case, it was the naturally occurring, floating peat bogs of Northern Wisconsin that inspired BioHaven’s® developers to engineer a man-made, floating wetland designed to cleanse the water in which it resides, by promoting desirable microbial growth below the surface of the water.
BioHaven® Floating Islands are made from a proprietary matrix of 100% recycled plastic, injected with inert polyurethane foam for custom levels of buoyancy. Above the water line, they support vegetation, provide habitats for surrounding wildlife and insects, and also serve as an attractive addition to any body of water that can be planted with native or other flora depending on climate zone.
Below the waterline, as the BioHaven® matrix and plant root base combine over time, a highly beneficial microbial bio-film forms, creating a rich habitat that helps eliminate such undesirable contaminants as heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, nitrogen, phosphorus and organic waste from its host lake or pond. The BioHaven® Floating island also serves as a healthy, desirable habitat for fish and other aquatic species.

Gibbs Gardens’ Daffodil Gardens feature more than 20 million daffodil blossoms—representing 60 varieties—covering 50 acres of hillsides and valley. The annual Daffodil Festival begins in March and runs through April 15 as early, mid and late season varieties bloom, showcasing unique daffodil varieties every two weeks.
Jim Gibbs began planting daffodils in 1987 and continues to plant thousands more bulbs each year. To date more than four million daffodils have been planted and millions more have grown from natural division. To create this one-of-a-kind daffodil garden, land was cleared and terraces created with lush green grass, providing open spaces contrasting with natural woodland.
Terraces have long curves with walks on level areas to view the early-, mid- and late-blooming daffodils, during the six-week season. Forsythia and spirea plantings compliment wide sweeping curves of daffodils as far as the eye can see. Colors range from primrose-yellow, yellow, gold, saffron, orange, shades of yellow and orange, and finally blush pinks, creamy whites and white.
Canopied by stands of cherry and flowering dogwood, millions of daffodil blossoms create great waves of color that ebb and tide as they flow toward adjoining hills. Gentle walks traverse two of the hillsides and climb 150 feet to spectacular views of the North Georgia mountains in the near distance with millions of daffodils below. Late blooming fragrant daffodils along borders and paths sweeten the spring air with nature’s gentle scents. Panoramic views of hillsides and valleys carpeted by myriad shades of silver and gold offer garden visitors a most spectacular garden experience.
“The largest display of daffodils this side of Holland.”

If you've ever been in a hospital you know how busy they can be.
Now a place just steps from Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital is open that's meant to offer a break from the hustle and bustle of the hospital and also to help in the healing process.
Monday a new healing garden officially opened near the hospital on the Roanoke River Greenway. It's a place to get in touch with nature. It's a place that's meant to foster relaxation and it's a place that's also meant to invigorate.
"This healing garden is a place of peace ,a place to come for our patients, our families, our visitors, our staff to take a break from the sort of maddening crowd that can happen at the hospital," said Carilion President and CEO Nancy Agee. "It allows people a time for reflection and quiet."
The healing garden is filled with plants and several places to sit including a swing. The swing has a calming effect, said Agee.
The garden is a collaboration between Roanoke city and Carilion. Roanoke City Mayor David Bowers along with Steve Buschor, Roanoke's Director of Parks and Recreation joined Agee for the dedication.
The healing garden is named in dedication of Carilion's Dr. Robert L.Al Keeley Healing Arts program.

Are you planning to build a vertical garden? Then check out all the steps in this article and you'll know what to do to build your own vertical garden.
Are you ready to put together a vertical garden yet? Then go to our configurator and put together your own complete vertical garden today. Including plants, planters, watering systems and potting soil.
Step 1: Is a vertical garden right for you?
Congratulations, you've already taken the first step! You know what a vertical garden is and you are orienting yourself whether a vertical garden is right for you. Very good that you are doing some preparation. Vertical gardening can in some cases be easier than traditional gardening. Still, there are some things that come with it.
Pros & cons
There are pros and cons to vertical gardens. We have made a complete list of the pros and cons of vertical gardening. See below in brief the advantages and disadvantages of vertical gardens.
- It looks beautiful
- Accessible and easy to maintain
- Easy to water
- You can grow more plants within a small space
- Hides and gives privacy
- Plants stay healthy
- Can be a source for moisture and mold
- Plants block the sun
- Plants need more water
- Not all plants are suitable
- Bacteria can spread easily
Most of the disadvantages are easily remedied. See what you can do about them in our extensive article on the pros and cons of vertical gardens.
Sufficient space & good location
One thing a vertical garden is good at: lots of plants can grow there within little space. In short, you don't need much space for a vertical garden and often less than if you were to put so many plants in the ground normally.
However, you do need a suitable wall or fence for the vertical garden. Make sure you have a wall that is suitable for your vertical garden:
- Sufficient sun for the needs of your plants
- Possibility to mount vertical garden with screws or suspension system
- Space for an automatic watering system and supply of water nearby (optional)
- Visible place where you can enjoy your vertical garden
Step 2: Selection of planter system
There are many different ways to do vertical gardening. You can make your own system out of wood, for example, or buy ready-made planters or plant bags. Which is best for you depends entirely on how much time you want to put into it, what it should look like and what your budget is.
The more money you spend on it, the easier these systems often are and the less maintenance you have to spend on them. We list a few for you in the following categories:
- Planter to hang
- Hanging plant bag
- Wooden planter to put down
- Rack to hang planters
Step 3: Selection of plants
Which plants you can use for a vertical garden depends on its location and the function you want your vertical garden to perform.
Location of your vertical garden: outdoors or indoors?
You can choose indoor plants or herbaceous plants. Keep in mind the sunlight requirements of your plants. It can quickly happen indoors that plants do not get enough sunlight. You can then always choose to create extra light in the environment with a grow light, for example. See all indoor plants in our plant guide for vertical gardens.
When you place your vertical garden outside you have to deal with all the weather conditions you have to deal with in your country or region. In the Netherlands & Belgium it can freeze and plants can die from that if they are outside in the winter. Because of this, you have two options by which your plants can survive the winter: put them inside or choose hardy plants. The hardiness of plants is referred to as "Hardiness Zones" (see also: Wikipedia). In our plant guide for vertical gardens, we also indicate winter hardiness.
Function of your vertical garden: aesthetics or of food?
A vertical garden is a unique way to display your plants. Because they are placed vertically one above the other and can hang, you get to see the plants from a beautiful perspective. In addition, you can use it to decorate a wall. Do you opt for an aesthetic vertical garden? Then choose mainly plants that you like. Go for flowers, greens or grasses, for example, according to your taste.
Eat from your vertical vegetable garden
You can also use your vertical garden as a vegetable garden. You can place vegetables, fruit or even herb plants in it. With this you can still get a fairly large harvest in a small space. Not all plants that you normally use in a vegetable garden are suitable for a vertical garden. For example, you cannot place a pear tree in the planters, but strawberries grow very well. In our plant guide, we provide a comprehensive list of edible plants for a vertical garden.
Step 4: Selecting a watering system
As also explained in the pros and cons of a vertical garden, watering your vertical garden is very important. It is often easy to water your vertical garden because most vertical garden systems include a watering system. However, it is possible that a vertical garden system sometimes needs more frequent watering and you have to be a little busier with this.
We therefore recommend the following:
Choose a vertical garden planter with a water reservoir
To avoid having to water too often, you can use a vertical garden planter with a water reservoir. This helps with continuous moisture absorption from the planter to the plant. If you do not have a planter but a plant bag, then you will have to water the plant bag every day and several times a day. Otherwise, the soil in the plant bag may dry out too quickly.
Make sure excess water can drain away easily
When your plants receive water from above, it is important that excess water can drain away. For example, when it rains heavily, you often have no control over how much water gets into your vertical garden. Then it is important that excess water can drain away. If this does not happen, the roots of your plants may get too wet and thus suffocate or rot. It helps then if you have a vertical garden planter with one or more drainage holes.
Choose an automatic irrigation system with your vertical garden
A vertical garden may sometimes need water more often than, say, the plants in your soil. This is because a vertical garden does not always have access to rainwater or groundwater. Also, plants are often more exposed to sun and wind, which can cause water to evaporate more quickly. To meet the need for more professional irrigation, we recommend an automatic irrigation system. For example, you can use a solar-powered irrigation system. These are easy to install and for this you do not need a tap or an electrical outlet.
Step 5: Checklist and ordering
Now that you know what kind of vertical garden you want to create, you can move on to ordering. It is important in this how much you want to make yourself and how much you want to buy ready-made. Make a list of all the elements you want to start ordering, consider the following:
- Planters or plant bags in which you can start hanging the plants.
- Do they have a water reservoir and drainage hole?
- How much do you need for your vertical garden?
- How many plants can you put in them (important when buying your plants and watering system)?
- Draw up a list of plants
- What kind of plants do you want? Ornamental, herbs, fruits, vegetables?
- Are the plants suitable for indoors or outdoors?
- What are the plants' needs in terms of water, sun and soil?
- Will the plants stay green in the winter?
- Are the plants hardy, or do you need to buy new ones after a season?
- How many do you need in total to fill your vertical garden?
- Assembly of the vertical garden
- How can the planters or plant bags be mounted?
- Can the wall support it or is additional reinforcement needed?
- Do I need additional materials to assemble the vertical garden? Think about hanging mechanisms, screws and plugs.
- Is the back wall moisture-resistant or does it still need a protective layer in between?
- Watering & potting soil
- Do I have a tap or water point nearby for watering?
- Do I need an automatic watering system?
- Will the plants be watered from rainfall?
- Do I need extra potting soil and should I make a potting soil mix for special plants?
Add up all the costs and supplies, and see how much you'll spend to design your vertical garden to your liking!
Step 6: Preparation and installation
Go through the following steps to prepare and install your vertical garden:
- Make sure you have all your materials to install your vertical garden
- Clean up and clean the area where you want to install your vertical garden
- Check if the back wall is moisture proof or make it moisture proof
- Prepare your vertical garden for installation by installing all the mounting elements. Think plugs, hanging racks and screws
- Mount planters/plant bags
- Install any watering system and test it properly. You can also choose to test it for a few days first without putting the plants in.
- Fill your vertical garden with plants, possibly move plants around if you think it looks nicer.
Step 7: Maintenance
Your vertical garden definitely needs maintenance. Sometimes less than a normal garden, sometimes more. It depends on which system you have chosen, whether you have an automatic watering system and what kind of plants you have chosen. When it comes to maintenance, remember the following:
- Water sufficiently and often enough so that your plants do not dry out. Regularly check the soil your plants are in.
- Give plant food or fertilizer regularly. After a few months, the nutrients in the potting soil of your plants may be depleted. You can then give extra plant food to your plants. You can do this by adding it to your watering.
- Prune or trim your plants if they get too big, this way you ensure that all plants can continue to grow well and get sunlight.
- Prepare your vertical garden for winter. Protect plants that can't handle frost or cold with this or possibly bring some plants inside. Reduce watering or turn it off completely so your plants don't get too much water.
Step 8: Enjoying
The last and most important step in creating your own vertical garden is to enjoy it. Enjoy the beauty you have created yourself. Take pictures of it. Share them with your friends, family and with us.

New Masaryčka Square
In May of 2021, the Perspektiv architecture studio won an architectural competition for the design of a new square adjacent to Masaryk railway station. We have now been implementing the winning design for the past 6 months and are fulfilling the promises we made to the councilors of the capital city of Prague - we are transforming a previously extremely neglected area into a new, unique space full of life and greenery.
"I am glad that, thanks to the cooperation between the developer and the City, a well-designed public space - a small square, where its design has passed an architectural competition - is being created on the site of a previously neglected area. Bare square meters are not being built here, a piece of the city is being built here," says Petr Zeman, representative of the capital city of Prague, with regards to the revitalization of the Masaryčka micro-locality.
Together with Hlavní město Praha we are equal partners in this part of the project!
The planned urban re-development of the entire square should be completed by the end of next year.


I took these photographs in our garden last week. After feeding Lily I looked out of the window and saw a blanket of frost stretching out across our neighbourhood. We have the most gorgeous view across the gardens from our bathroom window. I layered up, grabbed my camera and wandered out into the freeze to see what I could find.
Last summer's strawberry plants seem to be faring ok in this cold weather. I should probably have put them in the shed or at the very least covered them for winter. Having said that they were neglected last winter too and they were fine, so hopefully they'll fruit again this summer.
There isn't really much happening in our garden over winter. We planted a handful of summer bulbs, but I think we need to buy some shrubs to fill the spaces in the borders once the flowers have died down. We have huge swathes of lavender in one border and something which looks suspiciously like a privet in the other. If you have any recommendations for fast-growing plants with year-round interest, I'd love to hear them.
The low winter sun illuminated the old cosmos plants from my summer cutting garden. They looked so pretty in bloom, it was always such a joy to walk to the end of the garden and pick a vase full for the house. I need to pull those plants out when I have a spare moment. I can't wait to start planting again this year, I've been pinning ideas to my garden board if you'd like to take a look.

‘Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing.’
Todays guest post is by Kieran, a landscape architect and travel blogger at SIM Tourist.
As a landscape architect, a lot of my work is ultimately about re-connecting people with nature; ‘rewilding’ through environmental design. I was inspired to write this post by noticing how my minimalist earth runners sandals have helped open my senses, and how this sensory experience helps initiate an awareness of and resonance with natural systems; as is embodied by the philosophy of permaculture.
Permaculture is difficult define concisely, but is a broad and inclusive philosophy that entails sensitivity to the land. It aims to align human activity with natural systems, and consists of agricultural and social design principles that are centred around the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. Naturally, the outcome is sustainable, and does not deplete the resources of future generations. The principles of permaculture are not restricted to the garden, nor are they restricted to the environment at large, but permeate all aspects of life.
In landscape design, the site survey forms a crucial part of the design process. If you believe in a genuis loci’, or ‘protective spirit’ of a place, then the site survey is what allows you to unveil this and understand its unique identity as something that should be the ultimate informant of whatever you choose to do with it. However, this identity is often elusive.
One of the first core principles of permaculture is observing and interacting. It is subtle, a slowing down of the mind and an attuning to the senses. Permaculture relies on an understanding of your site and local conditions. It relies on connection, to place, to sensation, to spirit: An attentiveness to environment.
What better way to facilitate this connection than through the wearing of minimalist sandals. Footwear that allows the patterns of sun and wind to reveal themselves in sensations on your skin. Nature is subtle and detailed. It reveals themselves to those who listen, and wearing sandals brings a tactile awareness of these natural systems, promoting a conscious connection with the living breathing natural community beneath your feet.
Startling parallels can be drawn between the adoption of a sole, and the literal and figurative disconnection from the earth that follows. Connection leads ultimately to a richer understanding of and natural alignment with natural systems, and disconnection to alienation and ultimately ecological disaster.
Once a site survey has revealed a ‘genius loci’, then this identity can be built upon through placemaking, where local assets and unique features can be capitalised on to express this identity. Here the sensitivity and keen perception that went into the site survey is rewarded through the revelation of identity, which in turn provides much valued inspiration.
Along with identity, natural processes are key to permaculture and successful landscape design. To work with the shifting patterns of temperature, rainfall, pest populations and the multiple forces of nature is an important skill. The goal being to try and work with these processes rather than try to control them. What on a smaller scale fosters awareness and tactile sensation, on a larger scale promotes an understanding of larger systems at play in the landscape. This work was epitomised by landscape architect Ian McHarg, who was one of the pioneers in bringing environmental concerns to landscape design. This was achieved by working with natural features, and recognising natural ‘ecological value’ in the landscape, as detailed in the seminal book ‘Design with Nature’.
The message of the book is clear; working with natural systems is ultimately the only sustainable solution, and anything that promotes connection to the earth can help address not only individual balance but also ecological crisis.Author: Kieran Smith - SIM Tourist


Consider landscaping if you want an affordable way to increase your home’s valuation. Whether you are selling now or in the future, the home improvement initiative will add several thousands of dollars when selling. In addition, landscaping makes the house appealing, contributing to improved mental health and general well-being.
The first impression matters, and it would help landscaping before selling a property. A buyer will look at the lawn and start making conclusions about the house. It will be difficult to change their mind. Unlike interior design, landscaping does not stop being fashionable. On the contrary, it will flourish as plants grow. It would be best to care for your outdoors to maintain the appeal regularly.
Seek Professional Help
It is challenging for homeowners to get the time to landscape their property due to life demands. However, a landscaping company offers the service at an affordable fee. You can consult them with an idea in mind, and the specialists will make it a reality for you. The landscapers can personalize the outdoors to give your property a personality. It is best to consider a long-term plan as there is a continuous need for the service. Still, you can get a plan depending on your needs. If you are selling in a few months or planning to stay in the place for many years, landscaping will increase your property value.
Affordable Landscaping Ideas
Studies show that landscaping can add 5 to 10% of a property value. Here are some simple and affordable ideas to consider for your home;
Plants will Transform the Outdoors
We associate plants with nature, and they will significantly transform your outdoors. Planting grass is an excellent idea if you have ample space to use. However, you can set aside land for your home garden.In areas where grass cannot grow,you can opt for other plants that can give some green and cover the unpleasant parts. You can select different plants,but it should be consistent with the design. You do not want to overdo with the plants. A professional landscaper will offer you insights on using different plants, including flowers, shrubs, and trees, in your landscaping.
Add Concrete Borders to your Flowerbeds
Separating your flowers from other elements on your lawn will enhance the outdoor appearance. A concrete border can upgrade the design and make it more beautiful. It separates them from the grass,making it easy to identify the different sections. Consider your overall landscaping design to set up the borders. The pavements will largely influence your setup. Using natural stones is advisable as it blends well with the environment.
Paving and Lighting
Paving the front doors improves the aesthetics and prevents people from walking on the grass. Still, you can use them to drain runoff water when it rains. The initiative helps with lawn maintenance and preventing flooding. On the other hand, outdoor lights are affordable and will increase the beauty by illuminating the lawn. Use lights along the pavements and on the different areas like flowerbeds.

The River Axe Landscape Recovery Project
Vet Sustain were recently invited to join Alasdair Moffett, Project Manager for the Upper Axe Landscape Recovery Project for a 'river walk' at Grovefield Farm in Dorset to see the river restoration project that has been underway for the last year.
The River Axe, with its 370 km2 catchment, which flows for 22 miles through Dorset, Somerset and Devon, is a very special place. As such it has been recognized as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as well as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The river hosts a biodiverse natural habitat for a wide variety of species including marginal and aquatic plants and threatened animal species such as otter, bullhead, medicinal leech and salmon. However, after decades of intense land management the river has become badly degraded and is now thought to be in an unfavorable condition due to silt accumulation within the channel, nutrient enrichment (primarily phosphorus) and algae overgrowth.
Chris Banyard of Whetley Cross Farm in Mosterton, Dorset is custodian to part of the Upper Axe river catchment and has recently been involved in the River Axe Landscape Recovery Project, supported and part funded by DEFRAs Landscape Recovery Scheme. Over the past decade, Chris has seen the river change in response to straightening and deepening of the channel and subsequent increased river velocity and destabilization of the river bed. The condition of the riverbed is dependent on retention of the cobbles and gravels that were deposited during the ice age. As the hard cobble bed has been washed away, the river has been rapidly eroded, increasing the channel size and velocity, concentrating flood water velocity and depriving wildlife spawning habitat. Chris has committed to supporting the recovery of the river catchment through re-engagement of the river with its floodplain, limiting further river channel deterioration and restoration of the natural habitat.
Phase 1 of the project started in October 2022 and involved 150m of the meandering river channel. This phase was focused around the use of brash mattresses pinned down with securing stakes to elevate the river bed bringing it closer to the floodplain. Chris utilized brash from hedge cutting across the farm over the previous winter alongside wooden stakes sourced from fallen trees within 2km of the site. Use of brash in this way not only prevents further erosion of the riverbed but also captures and retains silt from and sediment released upstream which over time will create a new riverbed.
Within the floodplain a 150m2 shallow scrape was built allowing water to flow over the floodplain and find its own path back to the river. This scrape now provides a wetland area promoting further biodiversity and natural habitat within the river catchment. The 2.6 hectare floodplain will be planted with native trees and shrubs over the winter of 2023 ensuring at least 40% open space is maintained around the scrape to allow sunlight to reach the wetland habitat.
A further 200m of the river, adjacent to the phase 1 reach, was restored as the second phase of the project, This second phase, focused on the use of local stone to top the woody brash, providing a substrate for silt and gravel deposition as well as the creation of four stone check dams built at equal intervals along the river stretch.
Alasdair Moffett, Project Manager for the Upper Axe Landscape Recovery project and local farm vet organized a river walk in November 2023 to showcase the work that has been carried out along the river catchment at Whetley Cross Farm. This walk brought together local farmers, landowners, vets, and key stakeholders for the project.
Clear re-connection of the river with its floodplain could be seen with visible silt deposition occurring on the floodplain during flood events. Initial water quality monitoring carried out in January-March 2023 showed slight reductions in phosphate levels but similar suspended solids results above and below the intervention. Although improvements in water quality have not yet been seen, it is thought that the phase 1 interventions have resulted in 30cm of fine silt deposition on top of the woody brash within the river channel and net deposition of silt onto the floodplain. It is hoped that further water quality monitoring over a longer period of time will show a correlation with improved river water quality in the area of restoration. Fish passage has been monitored as part of the project and no impediment to fish movement have been seen as a result of the interventions. Ongoing monitoring and measurement is planned to help inform, refine and modify future interventions with the Upper Axe Landscape Recovery Project in the hope to restore larger sections of the main River Axe and its tributaries in the future. More information on this interesting restoration project can be found here: https://upperaxe.org/

The love of gardening stretches back to the earliest years of our country, inspiring George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other Founding Fathers to plant some of America’s most iconic colonial-era gardens. From the 19th century to today, landscape designers have continued that tradition. Conceived for many reasons—for food or pleasure, as places of education and scientific study, as an expression of the owners’ artistic sensibilities, as spaces for the public to commune with nature, or simply for the love of gardening—American gardens capture our imagination and satisfy a yearning for beauty and order.
Every year, millions of Americans visit gardens, public and private. Many public gardens are open year-round; in addition to the plants and trees on display, classes, exhibits, and other events encourage visitors to experiment and create their own gardens. During the spring and summer, planned tours and open garden days allow visitors to step into private enclaves and see how homeowners have enhanced and designed their spaces, be they large estates, small suburban yards, or rooftop aeries.

Amstelveen A9 is a sustainable masterplan study for Ballast Nedam Development to the City of Amsterdam, which issued a statement of intent to add 230,000 new housing units in the next 20 years. A9 is one of the many areas where there will be residential development to fill the needs of the housing demand in the greater Amsterdam area. The design study redevelops the underground A9 vehicle tunnel with residential and public programs along a quality green space above the deck of the tunnel. The design challenge rotated around how to connect both sides of the city that are divided via the A9 highway and unify it into a community. The resulting masterplan achieves this by suggesting a gradual increase from ground-bound housing units into mid-rise and accented high-rises by the tunnel edge. These high-rises are supported by the structural walls of the tunnel itself.

Master Gardener plant sale Saturday
Cameron is a busy place for nature and gardening lovers. Last Saturday the El Camino Real Master Naturalists put on a very successful Nature Fest in Cameron. This Saturday it’s the Little River Basin Master Gardeners (LRBMG) turn.
The seventh annual LRBMG Plant Sale will happen from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Milam County Youth Expo Center, 301 South Houston Street. Each year this event draws many people, as it not only offers a wide selection of plants, but also provides an avenue to solicit free advice from Master Gardeners. If you’re like me, the plant sale is like a smorgasbord for plant lovers. Plus, you get free drinks and cookies.
The plant selection includes both sun and shade plants, hanging baskets, herbs, cactus and vegetables. Many of the choices are selected exclusively for our climate, as the Master Gardeners promote landscaping that includes native plants, as well as naturalized plants, that work well in our extremely hot summers. This summer is threatening to be not only hot, but very dry. It’s important to get your plants in the ground as soon as possible. Even the drought-tolerant types struggle in the hot, dry weather when they haven’t had the chance to become established.
The plant sale always has an extensive selection of roses. They are usually gone by the time noon rolls around. Two of the most popular roses are the Belinda’s Dream and the Knock-out. Both of these roses have earned the “Earth-Kind” label.
The Belinda’s Dream is a five foot by five foot shrub rose that has large, very double pink blossoms grouped into large clusters. This rose blooms from spring until frost. The Knock- Out is a six foot by six foot shrub rose that has those bright, cherry red blooms. It’s a great beginner rose as maintenance is practically non-existent and it is for all intent and purpose disease-free.
Some of you may remember the article I wrote a few weeks back about the Earth-Kind program from Texas Agrilife. Earth-Kind promotes the conservation of water and energy, reduction of fertilizer and pesticide use, and reduction of the amount of yard waste going to landfills. Earth-Kind plants not only help the environment, but are easy maintenance as well.
Roses were the first plants to undergo testing and certification as “Earth-Kind”. The roses underwent eight years of research and testing, and finally four years of field trials throughout Texas to see which ones survived with no fertilizer; had superior pest tolerance; and adapted to a wide range of soil types, and, finally, be extremely heat and drought tolerant. So rest assured that your choice of either the Belinda’s Dream or the Knock- Out is a good one, just make sure to get to the sale early before they are all gone.
The Master Gardeners have been doing “Chats in the Garden” on various topics. The next chat will be at the plant sale from 10-11:30 a.m. and will focus on helping people decide what plants would work best in their gardens. The last three chats in the garden are scheduled as follows:
May 21–in Rockdale at the Butterfly Garden. Find out what plants attract butterflies so you can create your own Butterfly Garden.
June 18–in Cameron at the Triangle Garden near the junior high. Learn about the different types of herbs and what to do with them.
July 16–in Cameron at the Demonstration Garden. Learn about the different turf grasses suited to our area.

With climate change and extreme heat posing increasing risks to the health and safety of everyone, a robust tree canopy to shade homes and streets is more important than ever.
That’s especially true in Los Angeles, a metropolis with dramatic environmental disparities. Wealthy neighborhoods have expansive heat-shielding tree canopies while many low-income neighborhoods have few shade trees and an abundance of heat-absorbing pavement, buildings and surfaces that can raise temperatures by several degrees.
Los Angeles leaders know this and for years made pledges to grow the city’s urban forest, with mixed results.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s 2006 promise to plant 1 million trees fell about halfway short, and more than 1 in 5 street trees didn’t survive five years, according to a 2014 study.
Mayor Eric Garcetti left office without reaching his goal to “plant and maintain” at least 90,000 trees by 2021. And his plan to “increase tree canopy in areas of greatest need by at least 50% by 2028”? The city has yet to even publicly release a list of the 30 neediest neighborhoods it will prioritize. Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether years of tree-planting projects have offset the dramatic loss of tree canopy coverage researchers have documented across virtually every neighborhood of L.A. due to development and removal.
It’s a shame that efforts to reverse that are moving so slowly and ineffectually. It should be clear by now that adequate tree cover isn’t just some nice-to-have amenity. Trees are essential climate infrastructure to protect residents who are at increased risk of heat-related illness and death simply due to their ZIP Code. Just like air conditioning, solar-reflective roofs and parks, tree cover is something all Angelenos need and deserve to stay cool and safe in a rapidly warming world.
The barriers to expanding the city’s urban forest are many, from insufficient funding for watering, trimming and maintenance to poor community communication and support.
But we can do better, and this is the right time to chart a new course. Under Mayor Karen Bass, the city is nearing completion of its first citywide inventory of trees along city streets and parks since the late 1990s, which catalogs existing trees as well as vacant spaces where they could be planted. Officials also are developing an Urban Forestry Management Plan that’s expected to contain additional goals, such as the minimum level of tree cover Angelenos should expect.
That’s a more meaningful metric than past efforts that have focused on planting an impressive-sounding but ultimately arbitrary number of trees. What good is getting 90,000 or 1 million trees in the ground if you don’t provide the support they need to survive to maturity?
Trees need regular trimming, care and maintenance, including weekly watering for the first five years until they are able to survive on their own, but in many cases that just isn’t happening. The city’s current budget only allows for tree trimming every 18 to 20 years, when the industry standard is every five to seven.
While the average tree canopy citywide is about 21%, there are stark disparities that run along lines of race and class. Some areas of the city have more than 30% coverage while others have as little as 5%. Black, Asian, Latino and low-income Angelenos are more likely to live in these shade-poor and hotter communities. This divide is the legacy of decades of bad decisions, environmental racism that sited polluting industrial facilities and freeways instead of parks in communities of color and discriminatory redlining policies that steered investment away.
One immediate solution is to increase the budget for tree planting and maintenance and dedicate a larger share to the communities that need shade trees the most, neighborhoods like Pacoima and Watts. It can be more expensive to plant trees in those areas because they often have narrow or nonexistent parkways and crews may have to cut out concrete or extend the curb to make room for large trees that provide the shade and cooling residents need.
But it’s worth the cost and effort. Robust tree coverage can save lives. Trees help improve air quality and can cool the air by as much as 10 degrees, making the difference between someone surviving or succumbing to a major heat wave, like the one in September 2022 that killed an estimated 317 people in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
The way the city engages with community members about trees also needs an overhaul. There is no consistent practice on who will water street trees — the city or residents — for the first few years while they establish roots.
It is a waste of money for the city to plant trees in neighborhoods, then walk away and leave residents with the responsibility of keeping them alive. We don’t spend the money to build sewer systems, water mains or power lines without also investing in ongoing maintenance to make sure they serve their function for as long as possible. Why should trees be any different?
Residents often complain about city crews digging into the soil next to their homes and planting trees without contacting them first. And communities with a history of insufficient city services are understandably skeptical about receiving new trees based on well-founded concerns that they won’t be cared for. Tree-planting projects must involve residents in the selection and care of the trees, followed by years of support to keep them alive.
Bass and the City Council should make a new promise to Angelenos to expand the city’s shade canopy over the coming years and decades, this time prioritizing quality over quantity and focusing on shade-poor communities. The dramatic inequity in L.A.’s tree canopy is a pernicious environmental injustice and requires focused and sustained city investment to begin to make right.
The initial costs will pay dividends by helping neighborhoods become more resilient to the growing effects of climate change.


Natural thin stone veneer is cut directly from real stone quarried throughout the United States. It comes in various colors, shapes, styles and textures. Real stone is entirely natural; every stone project will be unique and distinctive. To create the thin stone veneer, full thickness building stones are cut with a diamond saw into pieces of veneer approximately one inch thick. This thin stone veneer is easier to work with because it is lighter and does not require a brick ledge for installation. Using thin veneer stone reduces installation time and costs while retaining the same beautiful finished appearance.

Ivy Glacier is a type of ivy plant that is known for its attractive variegated leaves. It is a fast-growing, evergreen vine that can climb up walls, trellises, or other vertical structures. Its leaves are small, heart-shaped, and have a distinct green and white color pattern. The white color pattern resembles a glacier or snow, hence the name Ivy Glacier. The plant can grow up to several feet long and can form dense foliage, making it an ideal choice for creating green walls or covering bare walls. Ivy Glacier prefers bright, indirect light and moderate watering. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant that can thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments. However, it is important to note that Ivy Glacier is toxic to pets and should be kept away from dogs, cats, and other animals that may try to nibble on the leaves.


24 Apr Living Luxuriously with Nature
Sometimes, the best inspiration for luxury design comes from the outdoors. As spring approaches and the days get longer, now is the perfect time to explore the surprising compatibility between nature and luxury.
Whether it’s incorporating natural materials like wood and stone in the interior design, or sustainable additions like solar panels, there are many unique ways to include nature’s influence on homes.
Modernist architect Frank Lloyd Wright aimed to create harmony between nature and the built environment in his organic architecture approach. People tend to feel the most grounded, safe, and at ease at home or in nature. A collaboration between the two results in beautiful luxury homes that bring in the grounding elements of the outdoors.
The most common way to create nature-inspired luxury homes is to use materials that create a cohesive whole in harmony with the home’s surroundings. Rather than attempt to compete with a view, blurring the lines between nature and the indoors can accentuate the natural layout of the property.
Many luxury homes turn to large, floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize views and create an unobstructed flow of nature throughout the home. In fact, the shape of many luxury homes are mindfully designed to maximize the views and blend in with their surrounding environment and elements. These homes are built to follow the curves of hills or lines of a cliff, ultimately creating a sense of a seamless fusion of the two.
A green wall, also known as a living wall, is both beautiful and practical. Until recently most commonly seen in hotel lobbies, green walls are now making their way to residential luxury homes. Real plants add lushness to homes, and green walls can be custom made with various plants to suit both the climate and the homeowner’s taste. More practically, green walls can provide extra insulation – an eco-friendly approach – and absorb sounds that would otherwise bounce off the walls and create an echo. Placed behind a bathtub, green walls combined with running water allow for a soothing union of the elements.
This BC home on Salt Spring Island exemplifies the harmony between architecture and the earth with design that promotes open spaces, clean edges, natural wood, and dramatic lines. In this remote area, the views, coupled with the luxurious and welcoming design, provide a unique and desirable take on luxury homes that stray from the ordinary. Incorporating outdoor materials inside dissolves the divide between the two, creating a home that is both inspired by and a part of the natural beauty surrounding it.
Spring offers the perfect excuse to unplug from the daily chaos of our busy world. However, when your luxury home is inspired by nature and embodies its inherent ease and comfort, you can celebrate the outdoors everyday.


Park and Garden Center
A place that provides food, comfort, peace and service, all grown together.
Grow and Serve
For anyone who enjoys gardening, whether it be working in a vegetable garden or planting and tending flowers, we invite you to come and help us provide nourishing food and beauty for the community around us. As fresh vegetables become available throughout the growing season, a vegetable stand is utilized to dispense whatever is currently available to the public.
In the Park, we are preparing three new flower beds for planting. Two of these beds are circular 30 foot diameter, while the third is in the shape of the State of Oklahoma. There are curently 10,500 flowers growing in our greenhouse that will be planted as soon as the weather allows. Four round redwood picnic tables have just been installed and a firepit is currently being built between these picnic tables. A new bridge is under construction that will be installed between the Park and the Garden. Also, 5,000 onion plants and 750 lbs. of seed potatoes have just been planted in the school-furnished garden.
All remaining raised beds are currently being prepared for planting various vegetables as spring nears. Beets and turnips will soon be planted in the school-furnished garden.
The original Garden was started in the spring of 2011 with the construction of sixty 20'x4' rasied beds. Since the original venture, the Garden has more than doubled in size by utilizing available land as a traditional garden. In the fall of 2011, we began an effort to finish a park area that was originally started in the mid 1950's, when more than 35 decidous trees were planted. Now, 76 new evergreen or flowering trees have also been planted, a 750' gravel walkway installed, and a flowerbed utilizing 99 clay pots of various sizes has been built. In 2014, our neighbor, Del City High School, allowed us the use of two land areas for gardening.


Garden ornaments have been an important part of any garden for centuries. Some may consider adding ornaments like a fountain or perhaps a bird feed, but nothing else. On the other hand, there’s more to them than simply that.
The garden is really a designed space that we grow different types of plants just for the pleasure we get from it. It by no means meets our needs; however the thought of picking fresh veggies or even herbs from our very own garden makes us want to grow more. However, you should consider this; gardening enables us to savor more than just roses or vegetables we have grown, it allows us to savor the character in general more carefully than we otherwise can.
Ornaments for the garden happen to be a fundamental element of your garden design just like it once was when the Romans ruled the planet. A lot of good examples of these garden ornaments have been discovered hidden underneath the ashes of Pompeii or at other areas around the world. Styles have transformed since then as with time we have changed and thus so have tastes. For instance, not many residential gardens today have intricate fountains as garden ornaments that accustomed to embellish the Roman gardens. Rather, we more often than not have wall fountains or just small waterfalls tucked away against a corner wall somewhere.
Having a birdbath or birdhouse installed in our garden will not just attract wildlife to a garden, but can also make good garden ornaments. For that reason, while looking for garden ornaments, you do not only need to buy ultimately columns or statues only. Any manmade item that boosts the visual appeal could be incorporated into any garden.
Garden furniture is easily the most fundamental necessity of any garden and when selected carefully these simple purposeful items can also be like garden ornaments. Some wooden garden furniture has rather a cultural appeal. That said, chairs, tables, or benches produced from stone or wrought iron, if chosen carefully, can increase the atmosphere of the garden. The artistic ones of us even use old materials to create sculptures or furniture for the garden.
If you have lots of space in your garden a pagoda or sundials are useful garden ornaments. A moon bridge over a water feature will make the garden look great. Then of course you have the usual garden ornaments like garden gnomes or plastic flamingos scattered around. Additionally, you could have fire bowls or portable fire pits instead of electric or gas or electric heaters. Many of them are not only seen superbly designed, but additionally help keep the chill away so make very useful ornaments.
