Mark Cullen says every garden should have destinations. We have used rustic structures, carvings, statues, seating areas, and large plants to help create areas to visit in our garden. We have paths wandering through the gardens to invite visitors to "get in the garden". Many large plants are positioned in front to let garden visitors experience their size and texture (a design concept we first saw at Canning Perennials and Lost Horizons). |
