Planning your new Garden Design

- 'Essential' elements of your garden (4 / 5)

The Ultimate Garden Designer

It will be important to have certain 'essential' elements in your garden, as well as those you specifically want. What do we mean by 'essential'? There are certain common elements to any well thought out garden. The following list shows a few examples of what we mean:

• Pathways - to link up areas of the garden, and provide clean, safe and 'dry' access.
• Storage Areas - eg: a shed to store garden tools, lawnmowers etc.
• Composting Area - to help discard your organic waste, and provide a free source of nutrient rich compost.
• Outdoor Safe Electricity Supply - so that electrical equipment can be used
• Outdoor Water Supply - for easy access to water for hoses and watering

Of course, we are not saying that you cannot do without the above items. However, this list gives you some idea of the kinds of things that might easily be left out at the planning stage.
