When planting your
garden, if you decide
to follow a particular
style, first ensure that
it is practical and fits
your lifestyle.
What do you want?
Find inspiration for your yard
by visiting other gardens, and
looking at books, magazines,
and television shows. If you long
for a tropical garden with exotic
plants, such as palms and other
architectural specimens, you
can achieve it with the use of
containers on a sun-drenched
terrace, even in cold regions.
What do you need?
If entertaining outdoors is
important to you, a large patio
with a dining/barbecue area will
be useful, while a lawn is a good
idea if children are likely to play
in the yard in summer. Your
lifestyle may dictate that you
have a low-maintenance garden
with plants that are easy to
care for but look good all year.
Consider also how much
privacy you need.
Examine the visual appeal of your
chosen scheme. Will you include
plants with impact to create
impressive planting schemes?
Or would you prefer a themed
garden with an exotic feel, or
simply an oasis of tranquillity?
When selecting plants, make sure
you choose those that will suit the
style of garden you have in mind
