GARDENING 33<br />
Use water to make a statement<br />
AREAS OF interest in the<br />
backyard include pools, ponds<br />
and waterfalls – while plantings<br />
are still an integral part of any<br />
concept they’re being applied in<br />
less traditional ways.<br />
Today’s circulating pumps allow<br />
you to enjoy the soothing sight<br />
and sound of a water feature at<br />
nominal cost. You won’t necessarily<br />
have to call in teams of excavators<br />
either – even a small water<br />
feature can make a big impact on<br />
the surrounding garden.<br />
Let your creativity run riot. You<br />
can build your feature around<br />
anything from a Mexican or Grecian<br />
urn, to a rustic watering can,<br />
an old farm pump, pebbles, rock<br />
forms or even an artfully formed<br />
sheet of stainless steel.<br />
A wall covered in ceramic tiles<br />
or built from glass bricks with a<br />
shimmering sheet of water running<br />
down its face can create a<br />
stunning backdrop for striking<br />
leaf forms, especially when lit up.<br />
Pebbles and rocks can bring<br />
a softening, natural element or<br />
equally a sense of theatre to the<br />
garden. You might need some<br />
professional help with this one,<br />
especially if you’re attempting a<br />
naturalised design. But in summer,<br />
the sight of water cascading<br />
down a fern-clad rocky face into<br />
a cool, deep pool really is a thing<br />
of beauty and something that<br />

years to come.<br />
Once you’ve got your outdoor<br />
areas planned and constructed<br />
to your satisfaction incorporating<br />
the right furniture, lighting,<br />
planters and features is vitally<br />
important. Investing the same<br />
amount of energy here as you give<br />
to your home’s interior design will<br />
see you reaping the rewards.<br />
Most families start and finish<br />
an interior remodel before<br />
moving to an exterior plan, often<br />
without considering the relationship<br />
between the two places.<br />

Far better to think of your deck<br />
or patio as an extension of your<br />
home – another room that just<br />
happens to exist outside – and not<br />
as something separate that only<br />
requires attention in the spring<br />
and summer months.<br />
Tying in outdoor accessories<br />
with your interior scheme is<br />
another good idea.<br />
Pay special attention to furniture<br />
and colours. If your interior<br />
design shouts modernist minimalism<br />
echo the effect outdoors<br />
with sleek outdoor loungers and<br />
clean lines.<br />
