Paradise<\/span> gardens can be easy to create. Ensure you understand your sun and shade requirements. As a focal point always use a pot water feature. There are excellent kits you can get from Waterstone Garden Centre on Witkoppen road.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The following are some ideas for your paradise garden:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Focal Points<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Always use focal points away from the entertainment area so as to lead the eye to the furthest part in a small garden. This also reduces the sound of water to a gentle trickling sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Water Features – Use a pebble pond so the water is not seen and is safe for children. These are low maintenance and easy to install by yourself. Just ensure you have an electrical point.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some plants to use in your paradise garden should produce a lush and tropical feel. If you are in a cold area ensure you have cold resistant plants although high walls and large trees will protect tree ferns.<\/span><\/p>\n
