Look Unique

Dress Up Your Garden
Your garden is a special place that you get to
handcraft to reflect your personal gardening
interests.
You get to plant your favorite flowers, grass,
and dress it up with your style of furniture and
art.
Year after year, you can replant and add to your
garden so you and your family can enjoy its
beauty all year long.

Ornamental Grass
Many people favor ornamental grasses because
traditional grass needs to be cut, watered, and
weeded more often.
Ornamental grass can also complement other
decorations and act as an accent.
Like a bouquet, grasses highlight flowers, and
they dont need as much weeding.

Flowers
Plant all of your favorites so you can have fresh
cut flowers during the spring and summer.
Flowers are excellent additions to your garden.
Also, flowers add a wonderful splash of color to
your garden and contrast well with green grass
and other ornamental grasses and vines.

Birdbaths
If you want some water in your garden, but dont
want to maintain a pond, a birdbath might be just
the thing.
Not only do birdbaths draws colorful birds to
your garden, they can also be decorative and act
as statues.
If you add some birdfeeders, you can draw
specific types of bird to your garden as well.

Fountains and Ponds
Some people like coy ponds, while other people
prefer to grow water plants.
If you want some more water and are willing to
clean and maintain a pond or fountain, you might
find that the sound of running water adds a calm
and peaceful ambiance.
If you want more wildlife in your garden, a pond
or fountain is the perfect way to draw in frogs,
deer, and birds.

Furniture
Consider adding some furniture to your garden.
If you have a few sturdy trees, then a hammock is
perfect for sunny day lounging.
You might also add a table and chairs so you can
enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in your garden in
the morning or evening. Watch the sun rise or set
surrounded by your beautifully hand-planted
flowers.

Statues
Whether youve made them yourself or purchased
them elsewhere, you might find that a well-placed
statue balances out your flowers and trees.
If you feel your garden needs some different
types of accents, then simply add a statue or
two.
Some statues can even be used as a trellis for
vines and other creeping flowers.

Outdoor Lighting
Illuminate walkways or flower beds so you can
easily navigate your garden.
To enjoy your patio and garden at night, just add
some basic outdoor lighting.

ambiance youre trying to create for your garden
and lawn.

youve always wanted.
Its your time to choose all your favorite
colors, flowers, and other accents that reflect
your unique preferences.
