added by Frank Organ to Give Your Small Garden Some Room
Selecting plants to fit the design. Restricting the range of plants can help to strengthen the layout. Small garden design needs discipline in plant selection. Too many varieties will lead to a fussy design that doesn't feel easy on the eye. In this garden the use of a few species allows the plants to blend with the paved areas and walls.
added by Frank Organ to Shape and Pattern Set Gardens' Tone
Bringing Two-dimensional Patterns to LifeRegularity of pattern carries throughout this garden, with even the chaise longues fitting into the scheme. Two-dimensional patterns come alive when a third dimension is brought into play. Box plants within this scheme give definition to the rectangular shapes.
