Ornamental Horticulture

Space

The aim of every garden design should be such that the garden should appear large than its actual size. One way of achieving this is to keep vast open spaces, preferably under lawn and restrict the plantings in the periphery, normally avoiding any planting in the centre. But if any planting has to be done in the centre, the choice should be a tree which branches at a higher level on the trunk (or the lower branches are removed), and not a bushy shrub. Such planting will not obstruct the view or make the garden appear smaller than its size.
