Top Garden Design Trend for 2018: Creating a sense of enclosure.
.
The owners of this Salem, Oregon, cottage felt exposed to the street, even inside their home, and seldom ventured into the front yard. To create a sense of enclosure that still felt welcoming, husband-and-wife design team Buell Steelman and Rebecca Sams of Mosaic Gardens gave the lawn clean-lined geometry with a rectangular frame, wrapped by deep beds filled with dwarf shrubs, grasses, and soft-textured perennials. “We wanted it to feel fun and interesting but also serene and peaceful,” Sams says. “There are spots of color, but it’s not overwhelming.”
.
Get this look:
-Create a scrim of foliage with lacy-leaved small trees like Japanese maple and variegated giant dogwood.
-Hide a meditation bench along a side path for a secluded place to sit.
-Lightly screen the street with a deep planting bed between the curb and lawn.
