Every Garden: The inclusion of an arresting object within a small every garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the every garden itself. The focal point in this every garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the every garden. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the every garden.
There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a every garden. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your every garden to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your every garden vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a every garden with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the every garden.See Also Garden

Containers.
Containers bring the garden
Containers on to patios, terraces and balconies and, when secured to walls or window sills, they introduce a vertical element. Free-standing containers, such as urns and tubs, can be used to flank flights of steps with color, to make focal points in lawns or to add height. Pairs of containers at either side of entrances add importance and convey a welcoming message to visitors.

On The Other Hand See Town Garden:Goslar, in the Harz, came through the war virtually scatheless and this is a great mercy, for the town is so rich in medieval buildings that it is, in its entirety, a German National Monument.
Hamburg has much more than its luxury hotels and its strident, much-advertised Reeperbahn. With its Inner and Outer Alster Lakes, its world-known Hagenbeck's Zoo, its brilliant annual spring Garden Show, its seething port and its broad River Elbe, bordered by such charming river resorts as Blankenese, it has surged into the front rank of Germany's tourist cities.
Hannover, capital of Lower Saxony, is an outstanding garden city in a land of garden cities. It has a wealth of flowers and landscaped parks.
Lack of light is another constraint often encountered in town gardens. For those gardens surrounded by walls, it is possible to paint one or all of the walls white to reflect any light the garden receives.
