How can I create a sense of depth in my garden using focal points?

To create a sense of depth, you can layer focal points at varying distances, using taller elements in the background and shorter ones in the foreground. This layering technique enhances perspective and guides the eye through the garden.

What seasonal considerations should I keep in mind when selecting focal points?

When choosing focal points, consider how they will look in different seasons. Opt for features that maintain visual interest year-round, whether through evergreen plants, seasonal blooms, or architectural elements that provide structure.

How can I integrate focal points with my plant choices?

Integrating focal points with plant choices involves selecting complementary plants that enhance the focal point without overwhelming it. Consider colour, texture, and growth habits to create a harmonious design that highlights the focal feature.

Can I have more than one focal point in my garden?

Yes, having multiple focal points can create a dynamic garden design. However, it’s important to ensure that they are well spaced and that each focal point serves a distinct purpose to avoid visual clutter.
