Garden Design Ideas
Landscape matures, things change. Garden design is the process of designing the layout and planting of domestic gardens while keeping this change under control. But as people’s lifestyles change the areas once used for kids play or for dining out evenings, may no longer be needed. Furthermore, in case the house you bought came with mature plantings that do not any more look healthy or suit your taste, the time has come for you to understand what landscape design is and why should you revive your garden by re-modeling the space and focusing on the plantation you want and covers your needs.
Garden owners became increasingly involved in garden design during the twentieth century and there was considerable expansion in the garden designers’ profession. Specifically, education on garden design has emerged from the older traditions of training and most garden designers are currently trained in design and horticulture. Over the years, well-known garden designers obtain an expert knowledge of plants, their habits and their needs.
Most importantly, garden designers focus on constructing an outdoor space that is not only beautiful to see, but also feasible to manage and corresponds to the needs of the particular house residents. That is the reason why elements of garden design include landform and planting design, water features like fountains and ponds, garden lighting, sculpture and garden furniture.
Remember that landscaping should only serve to enhance your home, as plants and trees must be in scale and balance with each other, as well as with your home, so as not to detract attention away! Spend your money wisely by planning the type of shrubs and trees you will purchase in conjunction with the type of home you own.

The English Flower Garden
The English Flower Garden is “An example of the English 19th Century Arts and Crafts gardens designed as a setting for plant collections and planned seasonal colour compositions”. The English Garden is both beautiful designed and historically very important as the first public garden on the Continent, which paved the way for the further development of public green areas in towns.
The Pureland Japanese Garden
The Pureland Japanese Garden, and the teachings and sessions provided by Buddha Maitreya, present a wonderful opportunity to bring spirituality and enlightenment into organisational learning and development. The Pureland garden reflects Maitreya's approach to meditation and philosophy, in which he teaches self-awareness, peace, and harmony with nature.
Buddha Maitreya acquired the land in 1973.

Garden Rose climbing on the archway
Garden Rose climbing on the archwayI love how universal roses are. There is equal joy in seeing two or three roses in a tiny town garden or seeing the huge rose panoramas in botanical gardens. A love of roses brings people from vastly different gardens together.
My roses do NOT get sprayed once a fortnight.
