While the design of your landscape can really help boost your property’s curb appeal, it’s not the only goal you should be trying to attain. You want to be able to enjoy your landscape on a personal level as well. To do this, we recommend creating a secret garden of sorts – a place in your landscape that offers a bit of privacy that you can use to for personal contemplation. The following are a few ideas for doing this:
- Hidden clearing – Coming upon a small clearing after wandering through a densely planted garden is always exciting -just as it is when you come upon a clearing in the woods. Set a couple chairs or a bench in your clearing.
- Secluded nook – Create a leafy enclosure by planting large plants behind a bench and on each side to create the feeling of a secluded nook. Or place a small bench or chair on the outskirts of your landscape where it’s hidden from view.
- Arbor refuge – An arbor can be really effective as a secret garden if you surround it by plant life and vines.
