French Landscape

Basics in Designing a French Landscape

Saturday, February 26

French landscape gardens are unusual.

They often looked like scenes from romantic paintings or even books. A painter designed the garden at Versailles.

To bring a bit of the French landscape garden onto your property, consider creating tiny ruins. A partially built stone wall with the rest left "crumbling" nearby would do the trick. A meandering path that invites the visitor to walk around peacefully and slowly would also be appropriate. Remember that a straight path is for business and a winding one for relaxation. A meandering path is especially suitable for a smaller area as it will make it feel much larger than it is. Mimosa trees, with their almost fairy-like flowers, are highly appropriate for this type of romantic landscaping. Find them in our mail order nursery.

Hay Scented Ferns make an excellent ground cover plant because they grow well together and make a tremendous thick area of deciduous ferns because they do well in either partial sun or full shade and make excellent ground cover.
