A Guide to Garden Features
Even though the weather in the UK may not be the best in the world we still like nothing better than spending time relaxing in our gardens. For many people no garden is complete without one or more garden features. So, what are your options here?
- Water features: options here include ponds, pools, bridges, stepping stones, waterfalls and fountains. You can choose from various kinds of materials here and water features come in all shapes and sizes so can suit anything from a small patio through to a large and rambling garden. Some water features are static and some will have an automatic water flow (which is usually powered by solar/electric power).
- Garden furniture: garden furniture designs nowadays can include all kinds of styles and furniture can be bought in various sizes. Options here include tables, benches, hammocks, sun loungers, chairs, gazebos and arches. Popular materials here include wood, metal and plastic.
- Ornaments: there are various kinds of ornaments that you could set up in your garden from the cheeky garden gnome through to a tasteful statue. Other options here include sundials, bird baths, urns, planters and hanging baskets. Again, ornaments come in all shapes and sizes and in all kinds of materials.

Some of us simply like to arrange a few pieces of garden furniture and a couple of planters when it comes to garden features whilst others like to landscape design their gardens with more complex options. In either case the careful use of garden features really can make your garden a pleasant place to be!
