Creating Your Own Private Garden

However, no matter where you live or the size of the property creating your own private garden is a paradise you call your own. It becomes almost a sanctuary to get away from but also a great place to spend time with friends and show off! The garden gives a place to get away from the daily grind of life.Some gardens actually create a barrier of a “living wall” and others want more of an open space and use an arbor or arch to frame the entrance..The down side of a container garden is from the inability to block out noise, so these types of gardens work best in a secluded part of a yard. Before taking any steps consider where you want to locate your little piece of paradise. Private gardens in reality create almost an outdoor room extending the home outdoors. Living walls can simply be a fence covered with a fast growing vine. Plus it can help make the garden area cooler.Creating your own private garden is not only fun but offers years of pleasure and enjoyment as you watch nature come together.Going containerized is also a possibility and gives you the option of creating a private space quickly. The vines also function as a sound barrier keeping out noise and even filtering dust and dirt.In planning any private garden the overall goal usually comes down to creating a private quiet retreat. Although a garden does not need to be acres in size to provide enjoyment. If at all possible try to find a spot away from everyday noise and distractions. Large or small the garden depends on your personal taste and budget. Arrange the planters and flowers around the perimeter of the space. If noise or busy traffic is an issue you will need to do some planning to reduce the noise. For a container garden buy flower pots in a variety of sizes and add in already established plants.I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a truly private garden, however this tropical palm garden is over 160 acres in size and finds itself nestled along the coast of south Florida hugging Biscayne Bay. Using a variety of pot sizes placed strategically will give and interesting look and give some privacy. This is a great option for small spaces. Private garden spaces usually tend to be small where a small backyard patio or gazebo is the place of refuge even when the sun goes down by adding landscape lighting fixtures. Once mature the living wall separates you and your private paradise.
