It is good to have a theme that you can follow, throughout your garden and work on a plan and a selection of plants, that will go along with that theme. By having a theme to follow, this will dictate, not only the types of plants that you will be buying, but also anything else that you put in the garden. This will include everything from sculptures and garden furniture, to the colours of the pots that you will choose.

While some people might think this is restricting their freedom of creation, it does in fact allow you to create a garden ,that has more freedom of flow, rather than being disjointed with a variety of different themes that never quite gel together.

Sometimes the theme of your garden will be determined by the style of the house, that you have on the property and other times, it will be determined by the geographical location that you are living in.

If for instance, you are living near a beach, you will probably want the theme to tie in with the beach setting.

By doing this, you are likely to get plants for your garden, that are more appropriate and will endure the conditions that they will be growing in.

Plants that are suitable for growing in coastal areas, will be able to withstand the winds and the salt of the sea air, that could quickly damage other plants, that aren’t suitable for those conditions.

Likewise, it wouldn’t look quite as appropriate, to have a tropical garden with palms, where a cottage garden would compliment the style of the house.

And tropical plants are not going to flourish as well, in cold harsh climates, so there are many factors that need to be taken into account, when deciding on your garden theme.

Use your imagination and completely re-scape your land.
