    The sun’s out and we want to start enjoying our gardens. With a few simple tweaks and planning when it comes to garden layout, you can create distinct areas for entertaining and relaxing. You’ll be amazed at the profound impact that creating zones will make.

    First and foremost you need to decide how you would like your garden to function. Do you need more entertaining space or relaxation space? Once you’ve decided, the next step would be to decide how you would like your garden to look. Do you like modern contemporary design or a Japanese inspired garden or even an English cottage designed garden?

You could think about the experience as a treasure hunt that will indulge your senses. In this garden a mix of new and old has been seamlessly integrated to work in harmony. As you stroll along the pathway with flowerbeds and the varied heights of the planters they lead you to a shed and dining area that has been created at the back of the garden under a pergola.

    The English cottage garden has come along way since they were originally designed for herbs, vegetables and fruits. Back in the eighteenth century was when the purpose of a cottage garden changed from feeding us to helping us relax and enjoy the space. The flower filled gardens became popular and what we think of today in regards to a English cottage garden.

     

    In this English cottage garden there are no modern lines but sweeping curves and narrow pathways with nature in full bloom with it’s plethora of colours and a scented flowers. A cottage garden is simple by design set within a framework of hedging. The colour of the plants that surround the pathway set the stage for an amazingly beautiful garden.

     

    Set the stage

    Garden Fencing

     

    Set the stage with fencing that complements your chosen garden design. Fencing is an important aspect which helps achieve the overall feel you’re looking for. Think of style, colour and texture and how it will all come together. Take in to account the height of the fencing, for example modern contemporary gardens tend to have higher fencing where as English cottage style gardens tend to have low picket fences.
