Create a Theme

A theme can be based on a pre-existing idea of a particular style.

You may already know the type of style you wish to create in your garden based on your favourite colour combinations, plants, textures and features. You may have sought inspiration from your favourite artist, or from a setting in a book or television programme. Always consider the area in which your garden is positioned and the climate that you generally have. You will have difficulty in creating a Meditteranean garden for instance in the very North of Scotland!

If you need a little helping hand, take a look at the popular styles below:
