How can art be used in the garden?
Art and a garden, I think, are interchangeable. Art will enhance the design of a garden and the design of a garden enhances the art that's in the garden. And we use art to create a sense of place, or to personalize a garden. If you have a sculpture of a favourite pet or a favourite child in the garden, nothing says that's your garden more than that piece of art. We can use art to bring colour into a space where we might not be able to grow a plant of that colour. We use art to direct movement in a garden, to create focal features, or dominance, which is an important element of design.
