Garden Zones
Manage episode 419415966 series 3495970
Whether you have a large rural garden or a small city balcony, creating “zones” will help you make the most out of the space and optimise its functionality.
- Hedging is a great way of creating different zones
- Plants like Syzygium australe (Straight and Narrow) are perfect for a tall narrow screen
- Grasses like the giant form of Miscanthus sinesis can be used to divide areas
- Areas can be divided by using different materials and structures such as concrete reinforcing mesh to grow a creeper on or vertical timber screening that can be softened with plants like Festuca glauca
- Varying heights can also enhance a feeling of different rooms or zones. Sunken seating areas, raised garden beds or even raised pools for example (check out Plungie Pools)
- Garden lighting helps create areas at night
- Covered seating/pergola areas - consider a deciduous climber to give shade in summer and light and sun in winter
- Water features such as birdbaths, fountains, showers add interest and a calming element
- Paths link the rooms. Paths can be created using bluestone pavers, concrete pavers, grass, sleepers
