Worst question, ever, "What plant should I place here?" . Coming to Garden Design after receiving a BS Engineering, I remember well that line of Garden Design thought process. . Not merely a terrible question, it lies in the wrong galaxy of where to base questions about Garden Design. Then came the degree in Horticulture. More galaxies of wrong thinking. That education taught me to be a man with a truck, power equipment, bags of chemicals, monthly contracts, designing to commodify every layer of Garden Design for the maximum need to manage the landscape for hire. And, design the 'landscape' while standing in the street, looking at the house. . What plant goes here? Garden Design begins inside your home, below. What are the views out your windows, where do you mostly live in your home, how do you use the various rooms with window views? What is the style of your interior furnishings? What colors have you chosen? What type of art have you surrounded yourself with? What theme does the architecture of your home present, what theme do you want it to present? Pic, above, here. Looking out the windows, above, of your home are the lines indicating where to place focal points, below. Pic, above, here. More, once those focal points are placed in the garden, from interior views, the views into your home must be Garden Designed, below. Now, we're having some real fun, double axis. Pic, above, here. In addition to the eye traveling from inside your home to outside, the foot must flow as freely, below. How will you handle foot traffic? Lawn, sidewalk, stepping stones, how will feet move easily throughout your property? Flow. Pic, above, here. If you already have trees, below, the paths will situate themselves. No trees? Design your trees, ahead of paths. No sense placing paths, only to move them later due to a tree's growth. Pic, above, here. Canopy trees, above, are the tall trees growing 30' and higher, understory trees, below, give nice shade, yet grow to only about 30'. Tree, below, planted to shade a 2 story home with 11am-setting western sun. More, this understory tree was chosen to be deciduous, allowing the winter sun to heat the house. Pic, above, shot in my garden. Once the mechanics of focal points on axis from inside your home, flow around the entire property and trees are accomplished, a place for dining, below, near the home/kitchen/family room, is designed. Furnishings must match the style from your interior. Pic, above, here. Next layer of Garden Design, below, evergreen shrubs. Hedges with purpose. Pic, above, here. Next layer of Garden Design, below, deciduous flowering shrubs. Pic, above, shot in my garden. Next layer of Garden Design, below, groundcovers. Mulch is a great conceit of the mulch and landscape maintenance industries. Yes, mulch is needed initially, but your Garden Design should include groundcovers to eradicate that need within 3-5 years. Groundcovers are cheaper in the long run, less maintenance, and more lush. Dead brown mulch vs. living green groundcovers. Pic, above, here. Pic, above, here. Next layer of Garden Design, below, perennials/annuals. It's rare I do a perennial garden. Why? High maintenance & too seasonal. Instead, I use flowering shrubs, and a few stalwart perennials needing little care, no water, no fertilizer, resistant to deer. Garden Design, above, is low maintenance, pretty all year, functional for outdoor living, and views from home into garden. Maintenance? Blow, whack, done. And, not much whacking in a year. Pic, above, here. A small Garden Design test, below. Label what you see. Pic, above, here. Pic, above, I shot in a client's garden. Next layer of Garden Design, below. A place in the garden to sit/relax, and have views into your home, above. Pic, above, shot in my conservatory. . This conservatory, above, is 23 steps from the back door of the house, yet realms away in spirit. . Wood, windows, antiques, wood stove, conservatory above, were rescued over a decade's time, stored in my garage, till money was saved for the carpenter/electrician. Not having money for your garden has never been an excuse for me. I had no money, and still had a garden. Only mentioned here because at the front end, fresh out of college with the first degree, I too thought 'money' was what was separating me from the beautiful garden I wanted (aka deserved). The more I learned about Garden Design, it became clear, Garden Design is for all, no excuses, merely how your brain can execute. Game on ! . Garden Design Equation. I completely draw a garden, in the order of the layers described above, before choosing the first specific plant by name. Flow, shapes, placement, uses. . Along the way, I spent decades studying historic gardens across Europe, created my own garden, and toured myriad gardens across USA. Taught at the Atlanta Botanical garden and local college for decades, lectured at symposiums/garden clubs/corporate retreats, designed hundreds of client gardens,written several books, had a TV show, yet at the base of what I do, it's all listed, above, for you to take and create the garden you want, and deserve. . This time knowing 'deserve' in the poetic sense of Wendell Berry. By what you've learned, and created with your own hands in relationship with Nature's realm. . Of course there are templates within the templates, but this Garden Design Equation template, will get you where you're going. . Garden & Be Well, XO T . Tara Templates are being written for a 3 day workshop. A proven method to create a beautiful historic landscape, sustainable for you, and Earth. Who is the audience? Anyone wanting to create their own Garden Design, realtors, interior decorators, master gardeners, horticulture school students, lawn maintenance companies. Allied and collateral professions needing a Garden Designer on their team. Nothing is hard about Garden Design.

An elegant, contemporary and stylish round centrepiece for the garden, this Grange freestanding flower circle arch is a striking structure that can be used in an array of landscaping designs. Sold as a single circle comprising of two rings that are securely connected by stainless steel rods, it's not uncommon to have a series of flower circles in a row one after another, perhaps encompassing a pathway, or used in a stately garden for commercial events as a backdrop for weddings. Either way, these flower circles look particularly effective and their stunningly original design has proved exceptionally popular since their debut. Crafted from quality timber that has been sourced from FSC-certified forests, each circle has undergone a pressure treatment process that helps to protect the structure from weathering and rot. It can be left in its natural timber state or painted at home to match your garden's theme. If you're a fan of TV gardening shows, then you may have seen this flower circle featured on ITV's 'Love Your Garden' with Alan Titchmarsh, or in John Cavill's show garden at Gardeners' World Live. You can read more about the flower circle being featured on TV in our blog post here. Alternatively, if you're looking for something similar but in a more traditional style, have a look at our freestanding Moon gate arch for a fantastic alternative.
