It’s many a gardener’s dream to explore the 2,000+ gardens available to visit in the British Isles. It seems that every plant known to man and every style of design has been incorporated into the landscapes there. It’s no wonder that heaps of inspiration can be taken from visits to England, Scotland and Wales. Europeans are fascinated with our North American native plants, so let’s see how they’re using them alongside all the “exotic” plants which make for a multilayered design. We’ll explore meadows to manicured borders and have a look at what hedges and edges can do to enhance what you already have. Color, texture and form come are represented in every plant, no matter if it can grow in your garden or not. We explore the importance of these design aspects when making your landscape pop!
