The very best way to have an interesting and engaging garden is to work towards diversity. Having a number of elements working towards a single goal is a way to keep the garden feeling fresh and alive. It is said that a garden is like a fingerprint- unique to its owner.
A diverse garden can be defined by having a number of elements of interest. Those elements can be various plantings, wind chimes, water features, bird feeders differing materials for your deck and patio, a pergola and natural stone. A successful garden utilizes as much as possible without going over that fine line of too much. For instance, a couple of outdoor sculptures strategically placed around the garden is nice, while twelve pieces is just too distracting!
Diversity of plantings should include something for the birds, bees and butterflies to enjoy. A water feature can add diversity with its sound, and the local wildlife will enjoy the presence of moving water. Wind chimes will add a distinctive sound that can help drown out negative off-site noises. Having a deck and/or a concrete paver patio will provide a place to enjoy your space.
