The most enjoyable part of gardening, apart from sitting out in the evening with a glass of wine, is getting it to that point where it looks absolutely wonderful. The mixture of colours and shapes, forms and textures make the borders and containers into real works of art.
The different heights of the flowers, helped with trellises and a tumbling Flower Tower makes the garden a visual delight. It is also an olfactory delight with its mix of both powerful and delicate smells. The gorgeous smelling stock and lavender and the herbs such as mint, rosemary and sage.
Some like their garden to be wild and powerful. They draw the beauty from the disorder and wildness of the flowers and plants. Others prefer a more formal approach, with neat borders and each plant and flower in its place.
Many people like to use garden ornaments to enhance the beauty of the outdoor space. Some like fun ones such as gnomes and animals whereas other people prefer more delicate sculptures and carvings.
Many people love to install fountains or small ponds in their gardens, as they can listen to the water trickle down. Whatever your preference, gardening is an art form which any one of us can create, with no special artistic skills needed. A real art form for everyday life.
