Seasonal Considerations for Focal Points

structures, plants, or decorative items that create interest and enhance the overall composition of a garden.

How do focal points vary across different garden styles?

Focal points can differ significantly depending on the garden style. For example, in a formal garden, a statue or a well-manicured topiary may serve as a focal point, while in a cottage garden, a vibrant flowering plant or an archway covered in climbing roses might take centre stage.

What should I consider when selecting materials for focal points?

When selecting materials for focal points, it’s important to consider both durability and aesthetics. Choose materials that can withstand the local climate and fit the overall design theme of the garden. Natural stone, wood, and metal are popular choices, depending on the desired effect.
