Ornaments for the Garden

A complete garden needs more than plants. To beautify the garden, one can add decorative elements such as a garden bench, a table and chairs, a fountain, and pots. As ornaments, they should serve as focal points and should be suited to the style of the garden.

CURVES IN LANDSCAPING

Being a female, I do like to the way curves soften a lawn. They also add visual interest. And by working so hard, it will probably add some “visual interest” to my body.

Curves in landscaping are very attractive to the eye.  They not only add interest to the look of an informal garden but also soften the straight sharp edges of a house and porch.  Shaped garden beds also soften the look of lawns.

Peonies Not Just for English Gardens

Peonies are one of the most beautiful flowers on earth. They may be a favorite in English gardens but certainly a favorite in my informal garden. They are also great in floral arrangements because of their color and their delicate petals and scent.

First Impressions Last A Lifetime!

Make your front entrance look like a million dollars for just a few dollars.

When people walk up to your door they should be greeted with a seasonal floral arrangement that really stands out.  When choosing the right planters you need to think about the style and look you want to create.  The choices are many from whimsical to conservative.  Your choice should compliment the accents of the home.

Glad I worked in my garden yesterday because today is raining.  It was a perfect day - sunny and 60 degrees - perfect for working and enjoing the results.
