helpful for reinforcing its overall look. Here are some ideas to get
you thinking<br />

<br />
<h2>
Containers</h2>
Containers are excellent for adding a dash of seasonal colour to
areas close to your home. It's easy to ring the changes, keeping the
garden looking fresh whatever the time of year. Use them for shrubs,
bulbs or annuals or topiary. Many pots are also perfect for fruit and
veg - a great low-maintenance alternative for grow-your-own beginners.

<br />
<h2>
Furniture</h2>
With the addition of furniture, your garden can become an outdoor
room, which, weather permitting, provides more welcome space. Choosing
the right style is important - furniture can enhance the garden style
you've chosen and blend with the surrounding scene, or become a focal
point. There's a bewildering choice available to suit most pockets.<br />

<br />
<h2>
Hedges</h2>
They're not <i>just </i>for marking out your property's boundary.
Use hedging as a backdrop for other plants or water features, as a
focal point in its own right - think clipped box topiary in either
quirky or classic shapes - or to divide areas of your garden and so
create interest. Another bonus is their use as a wildlife habitat and
nesting site for birds.

<br />
<h2>
Mixed planting</h2>
Mixed borders are a chance to show off your flair in the garden and
can look spectacular, especially through summer. They could be
jam-packed with herbaceous perennials, colour co-ordinated in
contrasting or complementary colours, or more restrained areas of a
calming mix of greens. Experiment with different plant combinations and
enjoy the results.</div>

<br />
<h2>
Paths and patios</h2>
All gardens need pathways to link different areas, but their
purpose is not only practical. A path made of beautiful stone or other
paving can be an essential part of the overall look, or a gorgeous
feature in its own right. Shape is important too - clean, straight lines
or meandering curves, the choice helps you create the mood.<br />

<br />
<h2>
Trees</h2>
Trees are the backbone of the garden, adding height and a permanent
framework within which to create your outdoor space. Evergreen or
deciduous, a mighty oak or a flowering cherry, there is one for every
garden, however small or large. When well cared for, trees can also be
grown in containers. Even if your garden is a tiny courtyard, a tree can
enhance it.</div>

<br />
<h2>
Walls and boundaries</h2>
Stone, brick, glass, iron, concrete... your choice of materials for
walls is almost endless, depending on preference and budget. Like
hedging, walls need not only be used as property boundaries. Use them to
delineate areas and as a stylish backdrop to plants. You can even grow
plants 'within' the wall - vertical green walls are increasingly popular
among designers.

<br />
<h2>
Water</h2>
Be it a cascading waterfall, a bubbling fountain or a glassy, still
pond, the addition of a water feature to your garden adds an appealing
focal point, creating lovely reflections and sounds. Water is also the
single most important addition to a garden if you want to attract more
wildlife. If space is limited, consider a bubbling millstone or trough
filled with water and aquatic plants.<br />
