Planting plan to create layered modern perennials beds and borders: Tall varieties like Echinacea 'Magnus' and Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' add most height around the middle of island beds and at the back of borders. Medium-height plants such as Salvia 'May Night' and Nepeta 'Walker's Low' add more colour and texture. Low-growing options like Sedum 'Autumn Joy' and Geranium 'Rozanne' fill gaps and create a lush ground cover. Combined these provide a vibrant, multi-dimensional landscape.
A sunken firepit enhances a large garden by providing a focal point for outdoor gatherings, creating a cosy atmosphere, and extending the use of the outdoor space into cooler evenings. Its recessed design adds visual interest and promotes better airflow, reducing smoke and increasing safety. The sunken placement also offers a sense of privacy and intimacy, making it an ideal spot for socializing, relaxation, and enjoying the warmth of a fire.
