Surfing for Garden Design Ideas

Sometimes, as a garden lover, you want to be re-charged, re-juiced and re-wired...and inspired to do something else on your plot of land - but how to do this?

You can take a walk in the woods, the fields or country lane and breathe in the fresh air or you can... surf the web!

Websurfing for garden design inspiration is fun if you know where to start. As a websurfing aficionado myself , I will now suggest two inspiring sites to point you in the right direction:

 If you want to see amazing gardens in relatively small spaces the first place to go to is the RHS Chelsea Flower Show website! Full of the best and latest ideas in garden design, all lushly illustrated, the British are the acknowledged masters of garden design. Long live the Chelsea Garden show!

For example, this year's 2010 voters choice garden was the M & G investment garden designed by Roger Platts.

The photos on the RHS website of this garden are wonderful....

note the rounded forms in ths garden - no wonder it got the people's choice award...we are all suckers for curves

Another jam packed website to go to is the Garden Design magazine website...go to the heading 'articles' and then to 'great gardens'...the articles provide a cornucopia of themes and photos from all over the garden design spectrum:

From the first website you can get lost just clicking away from one fab image to another...the Dewey decimal system is gone,  lost in a sea of internet froth left in your websurfing wake.  

Bon Voyage!
