Garden

Creating a calming garden is more than just the flowers, it's the personality you put into it. Here are some tips:

• Design it like an outdoor room without the perfection.  
• Don't be afraid of patina - use decorative stones that pop against the green background. 
• Dress up your garden entrance with colorful planters to showcase your plant collections.
• Tie furnishings into the overall scheme - add pillows and blankets
• Add lighting - hang  lanterns from the bought of trees. In flowerbeds add solar pieces that add interest and soft light.
• Embrace unusual displays - wicker baskets and unusual planters will stand out from the plant beds. 
• Add splashes of color with texture - gnomes, fun pieces you can hang from trees, Art Poles in the beds among the plants, and garden flags.
