added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: French Garden Style

Mix and match within the overall space. The plantings within each bed here are uniform, but they vary from bed to bed. Design tip: Creating a focal point, such as this fountain set in a semicircle of green, adds needed interest, especially in a large space where the masses of similar beds could be overwhelming. In this space, which is very large, the bed and trees also serve as similar breaks but don't overwhelm the design. In a smaller space, go with just one focal point.

You can also use a looser purple bloomer like this catmint (Nepeta) or Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) in a similar formal setting. The evergreen borders help keep the plants in check when you want a formal look ...

Design tip: When choosing plantings, consider their bloom period. A bed of tulips will look charming in the spring, but you'll need something in the space for summer through fall at the very least. Also consider the care requirements; if the bed is fairly wide and tightly packed, it can be difficult to reach the interior plants for deadheading and other maintenance.

We could do something like this for the driveway area, only the center would be oval instead of square. We could have a bank and steps similar to this.
