Mediterranean & Oriental Style Features I've noticed over the last couple of years that my clients are pushing the boat out when it comes to plant design and a theme for the garden. My designs have always been there but since television covers a lot of gardening programs now, I think people just want something different.
Garden Centres also have a much wider selection of continental and oriental plants available these days. Planning a theme for your garden can be a lot of fun but takes a lot of experience and knowledge to make it work. The overall theme for your garden even determines the colour and texture of patio stones to use, as well as the planting scheme.
This is an excellent example of instant imact when using mature specimens. The garden on show is meditteranean design and looks as if it's been there for years but this shot was taken only one week after completion. Click on image for full screen.
