CARMEL’S COTTAGE GARDENS- ADDING FOCAL POINTS
We have now established boundaries , an entrance and paths in our Cottage Garden. Examine the view from both inside the garden and inside the cottage. What view is pleasing and should be left open and what views are less than perfect and could be improved by creating a better place to look, a focal point. Focal points also work to draw one’s eye around the garden.

A sundial

All work as places for the eye to rest for a moment.
