It has often been said that late afternoon is an ideal time to visit a garden. Somehow in the high days of summer, when the sun’s glare is exceedingly bright, visitors do not always sense the atmosphere created by trees.
Tree Pattern on a Lawn
There is something about the patterns made by trees on a lawn and their reflections in still water that give us a consciousness of what a good garden designer tries to affect when he plans a garden.
Not all of us have the opportunity to grow many large trees, but there are many medium-size and small-scale ones as well.
Well placed, they can lend spaciousness and a distinctive atmosphere even in a small place. Much can be learned by observation and reading, and pictures are a great help. At any rate, a garden is something more than a collection of plants.
