One of the things that I think people overlook in their landscape around town is the use of hardscape and art to create a magical or serene feel to their yards. What I like about the Desert Botanical Gardens of Phoenix is the use of art around their landscape design. Design is key to everything. Notice how this rock above utilizes the very structural agave with a red contemporary art piece in the background?
Or how a hidden water feature tucked under a mesquite tree can add tranquility to your surroundings?
Look closer at the above pic and you'll see fish swimming about......
The structural Organ Pipes make a statement as you enter under the steel domes....
Note how color can play into design........look at the two larger cactus framing the "doorway". Every angle provides a delicious meal for the eye.....
Water covers rocks and adds a green shade to the brown background......
Glass art captures the sun and makes a bold statement as you enter the Phoenix Botanical Gardens....so when planning your gardens, don't forget these important elements. Until tomorow......
