Creating a theme garden is easier when it is related to something you are interested in or have a passion for like plants that attract butterflies as well as using statues, ornaments, and other decor that are related to butterflies.

Color adds the dimension of real life and interest to the garden. Bright colors like reds, yellows and oranges seem to advance toward you and can actually make an object seem closer to you. While Cool colors like greens, blues, and pastels seem to move away from you and can make an object seem farther from you. Grays, blacks, and whites are considered neutral colors and are best used in the background with bright colors in the foreground. However, to increase depth in a landscape, you can use dark and coarse textured plants in the foreground and use fine textured and light colored plants in the background. Colors can also be used to direct your attention to a specific area of the garden.
