i'm going to show you how to create a focalpoint for your garden. focal points can be great to really highlight parts of your gardenor to just really accentuate certain features. they're also great to attract certain typesof wildlife like this pond here, to attract ducks or water-based birds. sometimes, plantscan be a focal point as well, whether it be a large tree or something that is shaped likea hedge or a topiary ball. sometimes different materials can really highlightdifferent features. things like metal, or stone, or wood, all have a different element.you can cluster things together to get a real style going and sometimes use really old schoolthings to get a really cool rustic look. it's also a great way to get kids really involvedwith gardening, whether it's making a ladybug

out of a stone or carving a face into a tree.it's all else mixed to encourage kids to get outside and get involved with gardening. in a large garden, you can have a range ofdifferent focal points and different themes around your garden. but if your garden issmaller too, you don't want to overdo it. so you may just want to pick a few littlethings and subtlety put them in. just remember with a focal point, sometimes less is more.you don't want to overdo it. consider the line of sight when placing focal points. youdon't always need them to be the center of attention and sometimes subtlety is king. check out this beautiful water feature here.you have a subtle bird just standing on a

perch here. and as you wonder around the corner,you just pick up another statue. it's really subtle, but a really key part of making thisarea. before you start putting focal points in,it's always good to plan it out. doing something as simple as a little sketch or drawing canalways help to plan it. it's really important to think about what you want to see and whatyou really like.
