Design Elements
with Landscape Designer Louise McDaid
2013 was the hottest year on record
and 2014 is tipped to be just as hot if not hotter. How can we cool off without
it costing us too much?
The garden is the key and you need
to plan a cool garden, not cool as in groovy or fab, but cool as in temperature.
Over the next four weeks, we’ll be
discussing different ways and designs that you can incorporate into your garden
to make it more cool.
Let’s start off with part 1….
Lots of great suggestion that you can start with in your garden,
whether it be planning a new pergola, adding a simple water bowl with a
miniature water lily, or planting up some more trees.
Green has got to be the coolest garden colour but you need different
greens so that when you look out into the garden it’s not uninteresting.
Next week, part 2 is this series will be about what flower colour or
foliage colour constitutes a cool or cooling garden.
