A different perspective, just as good

We featuredLaura Crockett‘s garden in the clip right smart back in the August 2005 issue , and ever since , I think of her garden as one of my all - metre favourite . Laura has a offbeat trend that makes her garden fun and high-strung . We ’ve featured her garden on the GPOD before ( here , here , here , andhere ) , but I thought we ’d feature a few more exposure to finish out this week .

Today we feature a footling vignette from five different view . It illustrates how important it is to call up of all the directions a special feature will be viewed from , and how , if you ’re successful , a vignette or focal point can enhance your garden in several ways .
