Gardening Design with Hardscapes

Hardscapes are an important but pretty much overlooked element of a garden. They give support and background to the growing part of the garden. Some of the most useful and beautiful hardscapes would be things like decks, arbors, stone walls, fencing, paved pathways, steps, trellises, gazebos, or sheds and potting areas. There are so many possibilities but a lot depends on your needs and the space you have available to you. http://www.ourgardengate.com/2011/09/23/garden-hardscapes/
