Here are 4 steps to build a secret retreat in your landscape. Whether you are renewing the landscaping design or want to transform your existing design, these steps will be handy.
Location
When creating a secret garden, location matters! The location of your secret garden should be secluded from the common gathering areas. Maybe you already have a favorite location in your landscaping area you like to spend time in. You can convert it into a secret garden with the right elements! A canopy of trees, a space near the fence or brick wall or a private side yard are preferred locations for a secret garden.
A Thoughtful Entrance
When developing a secret garden in your landscaping Barrie Ontario, you must create an enchanting yet thoughtful entrance. An arch or an arbor surrounded by shrubs and bush are great entrance ideas for your secret garden. If you want to keep the entryway discreet, a small pathway away from the main garden can be enough, too.
Privacy
Secret gardens are meant to be private. You can strategically use plants, shrubs, and bushes to cover the area and increase privacy. To ensure adequate privacy, you must cover your secret garden from three sides with a thoughtful entrance to one. You must also hide the sight lines to keep the area secluded and less identifiable to other people.
Create Serenity
