Summary
Summary
Garden design is always exciting because it reflects the architectural language of the house as well as the preferences of the garden owner. Currently it is fascinating because here - as in fashion - almost any mix of classical elements and modern accessories is permitted. Many new materials have found acceptance with leading garden designers who are bringing fresh colour and contrast to the garden, leading to some very surprising results. Also in vogue are swimming ponds, the rediscovered shrub, shaped bushes, and charming plant combinations. And the newest discovery: lighting in the garden, which enhances garden spaces around the home.
