Make this garden your own
The principles executed so beautifully in this garden can be applied to any size space.
**1**. Build in a sense of mystery by screening parts of the garden.
**2**. Use symmetrical plantings or hardscaping to offset an awkward asymmetrical space.
**3**. Frame an object, vignette or vista to create garden “pictures.”
**4**. Use drifts of colour to avoid a confusing polka-dot effect.
**5**. Combine plants with contrasting shapes and textures to add dynamism.
**6**. Coordinate hardscaping and plants with the house in style and scale.
