Move your home décor ouldoors A garden is like another roomn of your bouse, a speciai space that pots you back in touch with ail those small things that make life really worth living. Don't hesitate to use your ceramsic flowerpots, outdoor utili- ty tables and earthworks to recreate an out- door corner of your bouse that you're espe- cially fond of. And don't forget to install a lamp (standard or hanging) to provide lighting for those warm summer nights. Living in your garden is the ideai way to enjoy sommer to the full. When the Sun doesn't shine, play with shade Most summera have their cloudy peri- ods, wben there may be no direct sunlight. Or stretches of partly cloudy weatber when your garden gets lest than five houra of direct sunlight a day. Here's when shadow comes into play, witb interaction of leaves, textures, surface contrasta and leaf sizes. Every garden bas its cbaracteristic shade patterns. You can aiso make attractive use of shrubs to create shapes and volumes that will move in the wind. This sort of move- ment can be quite sensual. If you want the full impact, work with Hostas, fems and plants witb various leaf textures and dimensions - plus stones and rough rocks, water, sculptures and garden plots. Wbether you own a home in town or a Propenty with broad lawns aIl around, a condominium with a small terrace, or a third-floor apartment wit jots a balcony - wherever you live, there's always an ideal way to plan and plant yoor space. ..a ,,,SolideOak =MissioDkig Suie. 0 eats u s colous vlla So111 0AmU ITIR 4 Black Garden ol ItS$flP~J~U~U V~in j even s ihttyour noiMom. wth.2 *ivr 7 t S'TEROTRO, s'%IGHM O IEOKTIG Oak Kftm Confre Isl with bbtogp 10Ostain choiceÉ.
