Garden Topography: The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden topography is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden topography itself. The focal point in this garden topography is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden topography. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden topography.
There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a garden topography. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your garden topography to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your garden topography vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a garden topography with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the garden topography. |
