Create your garden in such a way that visitors see not only your plants but the view of a mountain, a river, or, in New York, buildings. Eyes are the key, along with the imagination.Īnother design principle used heavily at the High Line is: borrow a view. All this really becomes possible for me when I have plants in hand and I can see - and then imagine them in a year, in five years, in 10. Let one portion of a garden be special in spring, another in fall. Or create waves of color, masses of color instead of sprinkling little bits of color in the garden. For example, create mystery or tension by obscuring part of the garden with plants (or hardscape), thus leading viewers into the next portion of the garden along a path. Yes, I know some basic design principles.
