With Summer nights not too far away, we look to prepare our gardens for the warm weather and their relaxing long evenings. Creating an inviting and luxury ambience in your outdoor space is all in the detail.
French gardens are distinguished by their formality, symmetry, and control over nature, whereas in the English gardens you will note a more natural appearance, informal layout, and incorporation of varied plantings and landscape features.
Embrace summer nights with a continental look with some chic french influenced decor.
