Tropical Landscaping Design
Creating your own tropical landscape isn't as
hard as it sounds.
There are 4 aspects to any good topical landscape and they are.... Plant
selection, water features, ponds and of course, tropical furniture
Plant Selection - What makes a tropical garden, tropical? Plants
and lot of them! While greenery is the main thing you want in your tropical
landscaping, you will also want some wild colors as well. Make sure the
plants and flowers you choose are green or flower all year round and suit
most weather conditions.
Water Feature - Nothing says tropical like a running water
feature. There is an article on this site about creating a water garden,
which you should read. A water garden or even a waterfall depending on how
much space and money you have is a great idea.
Ponds - If a large scale water feature isn't in your budget, a
small pond with tropical fish is the next best option. You don't need a
large area, or a lot of money or know how to get started. You can even buy
pond starter kits for beginners who want a small pond in their garden.
Furniture - Putting tropical, water proof furniture in your
tropical landscaping is a great idea if you want to add functionality to
your landscaping. Wicker chairs and tables give a great look to your garden
and you can sit down and enjoy your tropical paradise.
