When a garden is first created, structures play an important role in defining the mood of the garden and giving the person walking through direction to what they should be looking at. These garden structures are often walkways, benches, and fountains. There can also be small barriers or a picket fence to guide people along. These structures are very useful, but there is a general rule in the world of gardening – the more natural a garden is, the better.
Remember, nothing happens immediately. When you first set up your garden, it may look a bit cluttered, in spite of your best efforts to reduce that awkward look while small plants strive to take root. Once your plants start hitting their full growth, that unattractive stage ends and you can remove supporting structures to leave only nature. By the time plants have reached full maturity, you’ll have an absolutely beautiful-looking garden.
