Three of a kind

We all have a mental picture when someone mentions a small desert Island of a mound of sand with a clump of three palm trees, grouped in a triangle.  There are certain plants, that lend themselves to this exact type of planting, making a fantastic feature in a lawn. 

I have mentioned my 10 favorites below. This will hopefully provide you with some great ideas on how to create a wonderful outlook or feature in your garden.

Aralia elata or the Devil's walking stick, as it has a spiky stem.  This has quite a exotic feel with its large, divided leaves and huge white flowers.  This one is very suitable for a dry shady part of the garden.  Position it 18 inches apart in a triangle and angle them slightly away from each other.  In the winter it will just have its spiky stems as it loses its leaves to a slightly yellow autumn colour.

Garden layout-Grass, change, for the better?

We need to look at the bright side of most people's garden lawns that are practically dead from the lack of rain that many counties in southern England have had.  This could be your golden opportunity to change the layout and create limitless new border shapes and introduce new features that your garden may have lacked, up to now.
