Gazebos and Garden Design
from: Holly MastersFrom the budding gardener to the more experienced backyard
horticulturist, everyone involved in gardening seems to be
looking at ways to enhance their overall gardening experience.
Once you are through with your work in the garden for the day,
wouldn't it be nice to sit amidst the flowers and have a cup of
tea?
In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards building
backyard structures that are both useful and attractive. The
days of utilitarian garden sheds that serve no purpose other
than to store your gardening equipment have come to pass. One of
my favorite backyard structures has to be the classic gazebo.
The classic gazebo is octagonal in shape and has a high, peaked
roof. They come in various heights and diameters, but they are
generally designed to accommodate a small group of people. To
me, they evoke a sort of southern charm. They remind me of the
bandstands that jazz bands used to play in when I was a young
girl in the South. Now, they have become landmarks in the
backyards of people nationwide.
I spend a lot of time in my garden in the summer months. This
past summer my husband and I decide to build a gazebo, so we
would have a nice place to sit and have a drink on a sunny
summer afternoon. We wanted something that would shelter us from
the hot summer sun, but we did not want to be enclosed in any
way. We searched around on the internet and found a design that
we were both very pleased with. It took us almost a week to
complete the project, but it was certainly worth it.
We spent countless summer nights entertaining family and friends
in our new gazebo. We placed it in the midst of our massive
garden, and we built a wonderful stone path leading through the
garden to it. It is almost otherworldly to be back there,
enveloped in the various scents and sensations. I never thought
that such a simple backyard improvement project would bring so
much joy to our lives. Would you like to join us for tea
sometime?
