A Lovely Garden Arises From Your Heart

By David Brown


You can find pleasure to be gained from relaxing in your own garden, and also satisfaction from doing a job and then having done it well. After you have created your garden on your own, from design through to planting and nurturing, it's only natural that it's going to provide you with pleasure for a long time. How do you go about achieving this, a garden that mirrors your creative energy? All it takes is to follow 10 basic steps. After you've established what you wish to achieve with your garden, you should think about inviting those who will share it with you to join in the creative process.
Once the decision to have a garden has been made, allow your creative thinking open rein. Consulting your imagination will result in your garden being a personalised creative expression, but you do need to choose between an informal and formal style. A casual garden is much more natural with streaming curves. There are discretionary things and must-have things for your garden, so be sure to have a list of the things you must have. You want to ensure you've acquired all the obligatory items before your financial budget starts getting stretched.

To experience a satisfying garden that is you, then you need to balance your must have items with your dream items. You must think about the place available to you, analyse what it already contains, and design your garden accordingly. Some of the things to be considered are whether the land inclines or not, and whether it's a large or small area. The planning stage lets you know what you want, but then you need to set up a budget to see if you get everything that you want. You will learn if you need to give up several of your non-essential but greatly desired items once you've decided how much money to allocate to the project. You may have to forfeit a garden bench, a fountain or some other item you were having dreams about. You should not despair, though,

You may have to forfeit a garden bench, a fountain or some other item you were having dreams about. You should not despair, though, since these things can be acquired later on.

It is possible that you may want the garden done by a certain date, so the available time also needs to be included in your planning. This could mean having to redo your planning. A lovely garden always pulls the eye to a focal point, so in your designing you must decide on the right position. Would you like a water feature, or a waterfall, or maybe a blossoming apple tree? It's surely best to choose the item highest on your wish list as the main feature, but then you may also want more than one if your garden is large. At the very least, create a drawing demonstrating the desired layout of the garden, so that the end result is charming and invites one to explore a little closer.

The plan you work from should be drawn to scale, featuring the house and property perimeters, and identifying the positions of the focal features. Select the plants, and hard items, plus the colors you want. After that the moment has come for undertaking your plan.
