Gardens are styled to make your home look dainty. Aside from having fine plant arrangements, some have artistic designs, which enhance the aesthetics of the garden even further. You can add artistic impressions to your garden or lawn and see how they make your home as pretty as a picture.
a beautiful gardenGarden art has a broad definition. From stylish plant segregation to the addition of unconventional pieces, the impressions must conform to your home’s design. You can even create your own artistic pieces if you are not willing to purchase the items found in a gardening store. As long as you can arrange them in an intricate yet pleasing fashion, garden art will surely work in your home’s favor.
Plant Arrangements
Plants of different sizes and colors are fun to arrange. Think of them as picturesque pieces of your garden’s montage. Plot specific spots on your garden where you will place the arrangements. Ideally, one or two of the regions should be larger than the others, since they will stand as the main sections of the garden’s design.
Plant Grouping - Grouping plants is easy if you have an eye for color combinations and the blend for plant appearances. Violet, yellow and white blooms go together while large flowers with striking colors can be grouped with the same kind or with small flowers. Tall plants can be accompanied or surrounded by bushes or ferns.
Borders - The border used should be identical and relative to the appearance of the arrangements. Popular materials for borders are bricks, marble and garden stones. Just arrange them in such a way that the plant groupings are highlighted. You can even assemble them before fixing the plants, so you can properly assess the plant distribution within the arrangement.

Garden Fixtures
A garden fixture can be any structure that enhances the appearance of the plant arrangements. If a fixture is particularly elegant, it can stand as the garden’s central design. Each piece should be carefully crafted or selected, otherwise they it will ruin the entire design of your garden.
Bathtub Plant Box - The bathtub’s appearance fits the style of artistic marble-themed gardens. Get an old bathtub, place garden soil in it and use it as a plant box. Position it well, preferably by the marble borders, then see how it makes your garden look like a portion of ancient Greece.
Oddly-Shaped Pots - With some pottery knowledge, you can create special pots for small blooms and oddly-shaped pots for added artistic value. Decide on a nice blend of weird shapes then turn them into actual pots.
Garden Sculptures - You can put together structures using paper mache (Tips on how to make paper mache), carved wood or any medium if you’re pretty artistic. Making such things is not easy, so for some people, they just by garden sculptures from home appliance stores.
If you have much cash to spare, you can have a fountain (or create your own fountain by learning how to build a fountain), or even a mini lake, constructed by the garden fixtures and plant arrangements. The element of water adds a natural feel to your garden, adding more appeal to it.
