The details of a garden are critical to the bigger picture. The pond shown above needs a sympathetic surround of apparently overgrown walling with hidden architectural detail, where as the orange crocosmia seems so much more vibrant with the background of the weeping copper beech. While some of these finer points are simply happy accidents, others have been deliberately engineered but with the hope that they look quite naturalistic.
When combined the effect can be quite pleasing to the eye, hopefully without being too obvious. The bigger picture of the ornamental grasses hopefully gives this impression.
Top tip: when visiting other gardens take a little time to study the more intricate points, take photographs of the finer details and try to look beyond the bigger picture.
Of course, Hecate likes to be part of the bigger picture too!
