A bit of our own 'Stage Dressing'
Stage Dressing...Are two words I seldom encounter in the world of gardeners despite them playing a major role in setting the scene, atmosphere, and emphasising which particular style a garden is trying to achieve.
You certainly hear these two words in theatrics, homes, and interiors but rarely when it comes to exteriors and garden spaces. And if you do hear them it's usually within the domains of garden designers and landscapers, rarely extending to the amateur gardener.
It doesn't mean it isn't there, it's actually there, all around and present in every well looked after garden. It seems to be the sort of thing that just 'happens' without even thinking about it, but rarely mentioned or talked about as a subject on its own.
An eclectic mix of garden accessories are available, as was seen on a previous shopping trip...
Some lovely, some tacky, some classy, some trashy. And then there are the plain quirky...
Choose what's appropriate for your garden.....
But more importantly, choose what YOU like!
Yet it's one of the most fun things you can do to your garden. Done sympathetically with the overall planting scheme and style of the garden, some careful design and planning, and a touch of the owner's personal style and taste, it can do wonders to the overall feel of ones garden.
You can accessorise using with unique looking furniture
A statement piece of accessory!
Nice or not?
The garden is a stage, dress it up! There may be no performers in it but it certainly makes the place more fun, and a more enjoyable place to spend time in. And it helps make the place 'your own' too. Accessorise it! Sometimes gardening is not just about the plants you grow in it, but also the items you put in it.
