Contemporary Italian Garden Design

Contemporary Italian garden design still adopts the use of topiary in this age of fusion design and I feel that topiary is fundamental for linking areas within a garden design and it is vital for adding a touch of elegance and class. Topiary clearly represents man’s intervention, as without man’s hand such shapes could not exist, therefore certain areas suit its use and certain areas do not. Areas closer to the house and living space generally lend themselves well to the use of topiary, as the presence of man is felt more in such areas. Areas near the house often continue the architecture of the house into the garden and therefore clearly suit a more formal and elegant feel.

Topiary, in the form of formal hedging, is essential in establishing the feel of a classic Italian garden and even contemporary Italian garden design should certainly still adopt the use of some form of topiary to provide structure. Formal hedging and topiary in general can be considered as important to the landscape architect as walls are to a standard architect or engineer. They provide the basis upon which the rest of the garden can be designed and constructed, so are therefore indispensable when creating an Italian style garden!

Container Water Gardening

Water gardening adds a unique, new group of plants to home landscapes. Many, such as water lilies and water hyacinth, grow well in containers. Locate your container garden so it can be seen easily from the house or serve as a local point, drawing visitors into the garden. Consider the following when choosing a site for your water garden:

-most water plants require full sun for at least five hours. A spot that is shaded in midto lateafternoon is ideal. Three hours of direct light is minimum for water gardening, but it greatly limits both the number of plant choices and flower quantity and quality.

-keep your water garden away from overhanging tree branches.

-easy access to water supply is important. Water that has evaporated from the container must be replaced to keep the water level constant.

Any waterproof container that holds at least 4 gallons of water makes an

excellent water garden. Plants will not over winter in an above-ground container in our climate. Grow them in pots so they can be easily removed and stored for winter in a cool place where they won’t freeze.

Put a layer of garden soil in the bottom of each pot. Set plants at the required planting depth, then fill the pots with soil. Saturate the soil by watering it thoroughly, then set the pots in the water garden container.
