Soft Landscaping? A new fad in the garden industry or a time-honoured management and planning of non construction elements in your garden?.
There is nothing new to soft landscaping, but by telling people about this less than notable side of garden industry may open peoples eyes to possibilities
The elements included in the soft landscaping field include, trees, shrubs, flowers, turf, as well as container grown plants, potted plants and hanging baskets
Soft Landscaping is the essential garden plan, providing structure and shape by planting trees and hedges to create a back drop to your blank canvas garden. Then introducing shrubs, flowers, climbers, turf to create a colour palette with varying shapes, leaf structures and contrasting surface feel
Ideas are as limitless as your imagination and creative juices. There are themes to planting, dating back centuries, if you like a structured garden. Or you have the option of informal planting, perhaps using one or several colours as you theme
The thing is, no one can tell you what is right or wrong, although some experts may try
My advice for a relaxed garden, is keep it simple. Multiple plants of different shapes, foliage and colour will keep the eyes dancing across the garden in a confused state
If you give your garden a focal point, something that draws the eyes, to the most distant point in the garden, then not only does the garden appear larger, it draws the eyes and creates calm
Most of all, get out there, dream a better garden, dare to imagine, once you have a simple idea, work with. There are endless sources of inspiration. Go out for a walk. See what your neighbours have done with their gardens. It's probably fair to say, if a plant works in your neighbour's garden it will work in yours too
In this day an age where we all have full lives and busy schedules, it is nice to think of your home, with that garden. The garden you created. That relaxing space to take you away from the stress of everyday life. A place to dream new dreams, spend time with your family, to socialize, eat, play, the possibilities are endless
Soft landscaping can change a dull and lifeless garden into your little piece of paradise.
When you are sitting in your office or out at work and you have a few seconds to let your mind wander, let it wander into your garden and smell the flowers, relax or just sit on the lawn.
You just have to dare to dream. Become creative.
You deserve a better garden
