for beautiful gardens

Garden: The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden itself. The focal point in this garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the 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 garden.There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a 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 garden to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your garden vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a garden with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the garden. See Also Gardens:6. Palaces and Gardens Denmark's castles form a very notable company. They mostly date from the 16th century and are almost invariably surrounded by beautiful parks and gardens. In the capital there are Rosenborg and Frederiksberg, supplemented gardenwise by the Royal Horticultural Gardens and the city's splendidly landscaped Botanical Gardens. Other castles in Zealand are Hiller0d's Frederiksborg (already mentioned), not to be confused with Frederiksfcerg, and Naestved's Gis-selfeld, while beyond the confines of Zealand at least seven leap up in the mind to be counted.Gardens are at their magnificent best in sun-warmed Monaco, so closely guarded from rough winds by the Maritime Alps. Four varied gardens, all beautifully maintained, are the Casino Park and Flower Beds; the Exotic Gardens (with interesting grottoes), appropriately known as "Petite Afrique," boasting tropical trees and shrubs; the neighboring Park of Princess Antoinette; and the St. Martin Gardens, with their handsome pines, adjacent to the Oceanographic Museum on Monaco Rock. On The Other Hand See Better Homes And Gardens:One big element in the success of outdoor portraiture lies in the choice of a proper location. Just any back yard won't do. You should search out idyllic beauty spots, along river banks, in the gardens of fine better homes and gardens or public parks, beside a gnarled tree on a hilltop, or deep in the woods.The owners of better homes and gardens, too, are good potential buyers of n estate photography, particularly when they have built n< better homes and gardens. Pride of ownership burgeons in the possessor of new house and he would like to show it to all his friends ai relatives. |
