People tend to make their gardens as original and beautiful as possible. Gather welcome inspiration from these unique garden design tips for homeowners. The hottest trends in garden design are easy to implement, and they add so much character, richness, and dimension to outdoor spaces.
Create an enchanting garden pathway
According to HGTV.com, the term “forest bathing” is the practice of taking a short walk through the woodland. To enjoy forest bathing at home, plant flowers, shrubs, and trees along a pathway, with a mind to simulate a leisurely stroll through a forest. To make a pathway more interesting and formal, lay down stone pavers rather than opting for a basic dirt path. Another option that requires less sweat equity is an informal pathway made from gravel or mulch. Border a formal or informal pathway with a beloved plant, and then enjoy meandering down the pathway any time of the day or night.
