How does light affect the perception of colour in my garden?

The impact of light on colour perception is significant, as different lighting conditions can enhance or diminish the vibrancy of colours in your garden. Morning and evening light often brings out warmer tones, while midday light can create stark contrasts.

What are some best practices for positioning my garden?

Positioning your garden effectively involves considering sunlight exposure, wind patterns, and the layout of surrounding structures. Aim to place taller plants at the back or centre of garden beds and ensure shorter plants receive adequate sunlight.

What is the difference between eclectic and cohesive garden design approaches?

An eclectic design combines various styles, colours, and textures for a more whimsical effect, whereas a cohesive design focuses on harmony and unity throughout the garden by selecting complementary colours and textures.

How can I find balance between different elements in my garden design?

Achieving balance involves carefully selecting plants and materials that complement each other. Consider varying heights, shapes, and colours to create visual interest while maintaining a sense of unity throughout the space.

How does local climate influence my garden design?

Local climate affects plant growth and selection, as certain plants thrive in specific conditions. Understanding your climate zone will help you choose plants that are well-suited to your environment, ensuring a healthy and cohesive garden design.
