A view that's pretty enough...
Private Garden, near Port Dover ON
but has the possibility of being so much more!
It is amazing the impact a few carefully chosen, well-placed objects can have. In this post, I look how simple design moves can really effect the way we experience a garden.
Here we have a nondescript corner of a country garden. Now add in a simple ceramic pot.

Before you might have walked straight in, stood there a moment, glanced around quickly and then turned on your heels and left.
Now that a big pot has been added, I think you are much more likely to stroll in a circular fashion around the pot and slowly take in the plantings.
A second look at how a well-placed object can really add that little bit extra.
It is not a clutter of things, but a single ornament that makes the best place for the eye to rest.
In this shot, there is a lawn.
Private Garden, Mississauga, ON
In this version, there is a pathway and a clear invitation to come, sit and relax.
It is always nice to send visitors down a garden path with a destination; a place to sit
and appreciate the journey.
