Step 1
Place an arbor in the entry of the garden or before an area that requires a grand entrance. Put the arbor in a dry area with full sun for grapes and roses.
-
Step 2
Locate a bench near a garden pond, waterfall or fountain to encourage sitting down and listening to the running water sounds. A settee or a glider bench works well in this type of area as well.
-
Step 3
Put the outdoor dining room furniture in the area of the garden with the best atmosphere. Choose a tiny nook for a bistro table, an open area for the canopied dining table, or the vegetable garden for a family picnic table.
-
Step 4
Hang a hammock for 2 or a hammock swing from 2 trees or a support system. Napping or reading a good book is a proper way to spend time in the garden on hot afternoons.
-
Step 5
Place the tiki bar and refrigerator near the entertainment area of the garden. Strategically locate the outside bar between the pool and hot tub area and the garden dining area.
-
Step 6
Line garden paths with small wooden or cement benches and set up chairs in shady locations to encourage visitors to sit for a spell in the gardens of Eden.
-
Step 7
Place end tables and coffee tables near outdoor benches and chairs with backs that are comfortable for hours of garden entertaining and enjoyment.
-
Step 8
Add lighting to the outdoor furniture location in the form of torches, lanterns, candles or solar lights to extend garden activities into the evening.
