DESIGN PRINCIPLES: Your garden reflects your personality and taste. Your beliefs or religion also have a bearing on your choices and fashions change all the time in choices of plants.
• Gather as much information as you can before changing the whole garden. • List Item Consider and write down what you want to achieve? • Look at the existing dwelling and architecture and decide on a style to suit your home • Extend the lines of the house into the garden to give harmony and flow • Call in a Landscaper to consult and help you with your design • Start off with a landscaping plan and work from this. Landscapers will assist with this. • Decide what HARD landscaping you would like to install and where. Stepping Stones, Circles, Pools, Ponds, Statues etc • Monitor the sun in your garden. Mark on your plan where you have sunny areas and deep shade • Discover what type of soil you have – a high clay content or loose and friable ? To determine what plants will grow and what will not • A golden rule when grouping plants - always use an uneven number, 1, 3, 5, 7 etc • Do not be tempted to buy specials at the nursery unless they are part of your plan.
