Landscaping ideas from Cath's Garden Plants
Your first decision is all about style: what mood do you want your garden to take? Tie in colours, hard landscaping finishes and planting throughout your garden to create a cohesive whole that creates the atmosphere you want. Remember to match it to the wider environment, too – hard-edged contemporary designs look out of place in a country setting, for example.
For a modern, contemporary look, choose designer furniture from the range in your Cumbria garden centre and look for smooth, precision-cut surfaces and coordinated colours. Minimalist, low-maintenance planting works well: bamboos, grasses, clipped box balls and easy-care perennials like rudbeckia and sanguisorba are perfect.
Traditional cottage garden style at Cath's Garden Plants
Or perhaps you prefer a more rustic, traditional look for your garden? Get the cottage garden style with classic wooden garden furniture from swing seats (or hanging chairs for a modern twist) and finish with timeless stone paving meandering between billows of lavender, roses, peonies and forget-me-nots. Keep the riot of planting in check with a neatly clipped low hedge of box for a traditional, formal look that looks fantastic in winter. And include a pond or water feature for a gentle trickle of water on summer days.
Whatever your landscaping style, you'll find plenty of advice and inspiration at Cath's Garden Plants in Kendal. They've got loads of ideas and suggestions from plant combinations to garden layouts, as well as a well-stocked bookshop to browse through: your new garden starts here!
