Enhance Your Patio with a Knot Garden
The perfect choice for homeowners who would like to have a formal garden area around their patio is a knot garden. Knot gardens were made popular by the English and French. In wanting a more formal appearance for their garden areas, aromatic shrubs and flowers were incorporated around a square symmetry.
Making a knot garden in your patio area can be done with relative ease. These types of plantings look beautiful on small or large scales. Do a little preplanning by determining the types of shrubs, herbs, and flowers you would like to incorporate into the garden. Make sure you know their average growth patterns so your spacing will be appropriate.
Integrate the knot garden with statues or fountains to complete the look of the knot garden. Keep your plantings trimmed to maintain their intricate designs. Knot gardens will bring out another level of beauty to your patio area.
