Backyard Gardens : Five Unique Theme Gardens
The ice and snow is gone, the weather is turning better, and the plants are blooming again. Spring is in the air. Now is the time to prepare your garden for the planting season ahead. And if last year's garden was more frustration than reward, now is the time to perfect your plans and try again. In this spirit, we asked our readers to share pictures and descriptions of their "theme" gardens and patios. We hope our picks inspire your passion!
1. Butterfly Garden: Rosemary Willis has designed this gorgeous garden just to attract butterflies. Featuring bright colors and sweet scents, this garden is irresistible to these fluttering insects, not to mention a joy to behold by humans as well. Rosemary's butterfly garden is beautiful, aromatic, and full of life, giving the butterflies and their observers a wonderful place to visit.
Second, when Joshua Rakham planned his first backyard gardens, his plans were in the classical tradition of the English garden, only partially cultivated with some concession to wildlife. Gardens with this theme use short hedgerows and other landscaping to prevent sprawling plants from overgrowing pathways and property lines. Garden gnomes, fairies, and globes add some whimsy to these garden designs.
When building a garden, pet owners must take particular care that they do not plant any poisonous plants where their pets can get at them. A cat garden takes into account plants that are safe for cats to be around, and also contain plants that cats can climb on, sit on, or play with. Even birdhouses (installed safely out of reach, of course!) can be entertaining for your cat.
4. Black and White Garden: Pilar Sota designed these striking backyard gardens to be beautiful both during the day and at night. By day, dark, rich, violets and sparkling whites make beautiful patterns. By night, the white plants reflect the moonlight, taking on an almost ethereal quality.
A new and unique type of garden has been created by Janice LaRoux. You might consider one of her tea gardens for y our backyard patio. She has over 50 different varieties of tea making plants in her garden. This makes her garden very interesting and aromatic, as well as useful for brewing tea. She has decorated her garden with different types of teapots.
Our favorite backyard gardens include the butterfly garden designed by Rosemary Willis, with bright colors and heady aromas. Joshua Rakham chose an English garden with natural growth and formal hedgerows, and the whimsy of gnomes, fairies and globes. Sissy Nye-Robison's pets love a cat garden full of catnip and other safe cat-friendly plants to attract butterflies and birds, and wisteria and plants suitable for climbing. Pilar Sota chose a striking black and white theme that is as beautiful in moonlight as it by day. Finally, Janice LaRoux set off her backyard patio with a tea garden using more than 50 different plants and tea pots to add to the theme.
