A thin strip of lawn provides enough separation to create a view from your living area. Frame the view with small trees and shrubs and then paint the area with soft textures and colors. Now when you walk out onto your deck you can step right into the composition. Even the smallest garden will make a big difference. Throughout the world, botanical and public gardens give people a fascinating place to escape from daily hardships and take in the beauty of the natural world. Walking through arbors covered in colorful flowering vines to an exquisite display of wild greenery can be so restorative to the body and soul. That's just the beginning of what these spectacular wonders have to offer. Public gardens detail the history and culture of a location through their immense collections of native flora and dedication to the preservation of its extraordinary landscapes. Each institution acts as a valuable community resource teaching locals and visitors alike about the joys of gardening and the importance these stunning specimens have on our world.
