Gardens are good
You might think designing a garden is as easy as going to your local nursery, picking out some pretty flowers and planting them. There’s quite a bit more to it than that if you’re interested in a garden that provides views, protects privacy, has year round interest, is low maintenance, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and doesn’t escape to wreak havoc on natural landscapes.
An expressive, interesting garden enhances the streetscape, and is a contribution to the public good and well being. Gardens provide personal satisfaction, refuge, creative outlet, and it doesn’t need to cost a fortune. Starting with small specimens it’s possible with a small initial investment to have a garden that grows… indeed a “growing concern”. A garden is one of the few house improvements that doesn’t degrade over time. As gardens age, their value increases, so long as they’re well designed. Invest in skilled planning and remember that from a tiny acorn the mighty oak springs.
