How to design amazing gardens
Thanks so much for visiting.
How to design amazing gardens. Interesting, beautiful and well designed gardens are one of life’s absolute pleasures. Who doesn’t enjoy sitting in a beautiful garden, surrounded by interesting plants, amazing scents, beautiful objects and just lose time listening to the birds sing and the bees hum. Gardens make us happy, relaxed and provide a welcome respite from life’s hurly-burly pace.
So what makes a garden special and what can you do in your garden to make it a space to enjoy even more? Well, we could do what every other website does which is show you lots of lovely eye-candy images of amazing looking gardens. Which you then scroll through hoping to work out what do do in your garden. But we do things a bit differently, for example;
What would you need to now to transform this small garden into an amazing one; if you can only find images of gardens like the one on the right!
How do you start?
Hence why we do things differently!
Here at PlantPlots, we aim to show how YOU can make YOUR garden better, so yes, we have some eye-candy images but we also show how these eye-candy ideas can be put to use in your garden.

Eye-Candy ideas – Garden Art!
Welded pipe rings make a great small structure for any garden 
Natural objects and natural shapes always work well in any garden sculpture 
Sculptures should fit the space and not look out of place 
Sculpture for free – driftwood or garden trimmings with the bark removed 
Create the effect of more room with garden mirrors 
Lovely but don’t have too big a mirror or the birds fly into it

Little sculptures are also great

Daft but fun. Something for the kids to do perhaps? image by entity art

OK, a bit ‘out there’ but cheap and stunning feature! 
Sculpture can be witty too 
Beautiful and free garden sculpture 
Be creative with pebbles, on a wall or on the floor 
Kitsch but fun! 
Dancing frogs – why not? 
‘floating’ balls of stone maybe

outdoor mirrors are a must Fire Pit sculptures. How about polished concrete stones these – amazing Outdoor lighting – thats a bit different How beautiful is this ok, rolling the dice will form part of your get fit program – but it is rather lovely Oh it’s so much nicer than a fence panel or willow pears…. Fish in grass look great Beautiful but not cheap! Glass in a garden setting is lovely; if you can afford it but here is a way you can have glass sculpture laser cut screens are definitely a great idea Have a shoal though 
and wha said gardens have ot be sensible! 
Upcyling works well too
Eye-Candy ideas – this stuff is a bit different!
Paving is easy to be more creative with – and anyone can do it! 
Screens for the garden can be made with natural materials too 
Stack these around a pergola for a stunning log feature Turn fencing into a feature 
This would make anyone smile! 
A simple screen made from wood blocks – fab! 
More costly, but these double up as seats too 
Any garden would look good with this – but it is a bit expensive!
