Furniture & Ornaments
Garden furniture should blend with the garden. Attractive decorative objects of wood, stone and clay should be placed in an open space such as lawn, edge of a pool and paved patio or beside the steps.
Screens
Pergolas, archways and screens are enhanced by climbing plants. Archways and pergolas cannot be placed in isolation .An archwas can decorate an entrance or may lead to the kitchen garden.
Pool
A pool can enhance the beauty of a garden and can also serve as a reservoir of water. The spot for it should be chosen with care. Its shape ,size and depth should be thought out in advance.
Soil Culture
The ideal soil for growing the widest range of garden plants should have combined advantages of sandy and clay soils and should contain plenty of organic matter. Soil can vary in its characteristics even between different parts of the same garden. First find out what type of soil is required for the plants. Then do a soil test. Take a handful of soil, squeeze it tightly and then release it. If it retains its shape, some clay is present. If you can mould it and it feels smooth, it contains a lot of clay. If it crumbles, it is a mixture of clay and sand. Very sandy soil will simply slip through your fingers. Healthy soil depends on adequate supplies of organic matter. For making manure, most garden plant residues and kitchen waste can be used.
