Advantage of Garden Texture
realise the advantage of garden texture.
All too often, clients overlook the importance of plant texture. The use of contrasting textures can be just as dramatic as using contrasting colors. For example, ornamental grasses and other grassy plants shine against large-leaf specimens such as Gunnera, canna, or banana. In shaded gardens, ferns offer an exciting textural contrast.
Newsflash
Never feed a dry lawn - the fertiliser is more likely to burn the surviving grass. If you plan on sowing new lawns, autumn is the optimum time for this, but preparation can start now. The quality of a new lawn can be directly linked to the amount of effort put into preparation. Level the area, cultivate it, remove all green cover and keep hoeing off successive waves of germinating weeds.
