go to town in your garden .
your garden
is a
natural sett ing
for wood.
Fences take on a life of their own
as architectural elements in their
own right. Trellises create a semi-
transparent wall of summer colour.
Scented flowers hang from pergolas,
providing a welcome respite from the
summer sun. Gates suggest the
seclusion of secret gardens beyond.
Wood allows you to create
your own setting in the
garden. A structure and style that’s
simple and inexpensive to achieve.
A material that’s natural and never
out of place; that simply becomes
more beautiful and more organically
at one with your garden as it ages
over the years.
Awooden structure can provide
a stunning focal point, whether
theatrical, like the simple trompe l’oeil
effect of this doorway framed in a
dramatic softwood trellis, or artistic,
like this tree sculpture, created from
willow by Finnish sculptor, Jaakko
Pernu. It can be as mysterious and
rustic as a gateway made of rough
hewn logs, or as classically elegant as a
rose tower, crowned with ogival finials.
Consider wooden pathways. Combine
with stones or shingle for a New
England boardwalk look. Use end-on cobbles
or wooden stepping stones for a more rustic
look. Use small round wooden logs to contain
borders; or gravel boards to create the raised
beds beloved of kitchen gardeners.
Taking our lead from American outdoor
living (and despite the uncertainties of
the British weather), it has become increasingly
popular over recent years to extend the living
space of our homes out into the garden with a
wooden deck – complete with barbecues, Jacuzzis,
lighting (and heating!). But there are even more
imaginative ways to use wood in the garden.
Few gardens today are complete without
the reflective tranquillity of a pool, or the
soothing music of a running stream. Bridges
have long been regarded by garden designers as
an opportunity for an architectural statement.
Modern, classic, bespoke, or off-the-peg, wooden
bridges come in all shapes and sizes. But whatever
