Three difference between wild nature and a contemporary garden is in the layout and design. That is what separates a manicured outdoor space from mother nature and the great outdoors. Gardens are designed, cared for and made specifically for a persons personality. If you design your garden carefully it can be inspiring, inviting and a great place to relax.
The complete guide to designing the procedure should be a very careful process. For example you do not want to have border after border of a single plant species just because you like it. This could ruin the overall design and feel of the outdoor space. Make sure you think about combinations of plants, bushes and trees. Allow good water drainage and lots of natural sunlight.
A good garden layout will include some key features, this could be anything from a water feature to a seating area or even an outdoor room created by a simple screening. It is also very important to think about shapes in your garden. Not everything has to be square and symmetrical, you could think about having some triangular raised beds or a flowing free form shaped lawn. This again can act as a fantastic eye-catching feature to your garden design.
For some great contemporary garden design inspiration it may be worthwhile looking at other countries and cultures. Some of the best garden designs I have seen taking on an oriental theme, as they can be both relaxing and inspiring. However my all time favourite has to be the traditional English country garden. The following lines and natural planting of the British Isles species looks incredible all year round and I particularly love the deep green lawn walkways that can take you on a journey around a vibrant, colourful and fragrant outdoor wonderland.
Hopefully this article has given you some ideas and inspiration for designing your own garden wonderland.
