Hanging out in a lush garden landscape improves your mood, lowers blood pressure, and helps your body produce vitamin D.
Some people relax in front of an aquarium full of goldfish and guppies swimming amongst speckled gravel and fake seaweed. But not you, you prefer to stroll amongst the trees and flowers along a flagstone walkway.
A landscape design for all your senses makes any outdoor space an oasis of peace and tranquility. In this article, we will present you with some stunning landscape ideas for summer that will please your senses. Get ready and read on!
Garden Ideas for Your Sense of Touch
Your garden is a place to relax. It’s hard to relax while standing, so think about making your glutes comfortable as you enjoy your garden, and make sure you provide seating for guests. Some popular options:
- A stone bench. Make it look like Stonehenge
- Teak wood chairs add flair that reminds you of a beach house
- Wood benches with cushions for ultimate comfort
- Wicker works well with many themes and looks great
Fescue grass cut short feels luxurious under your bare feet on a warm day. Avoid astroturf, it looks like plastic and doesn’t feel as nice between your toes.
A flagstone walkway somehow feels nicer under your feet than cement. They also look more natural and stay cool even under the hot sun.
Landscape Design for Your Nose
Pleasant smells improve your mood and help you to relax. Surround yourself with aromatic flora to improve your garden experience. Here are some options:
- Hyacinth for honey and chocolatey smell
- Magnolia for a fruity smell, kind of like champagne
- Gardenias for a bold and feminine smell
- Honeysuckle for a smell like jasmine mixed with vanilla
- Lavender for an herbal and woody smell
- Plumeria for a peachy and creamy smell
- Lilac for a strong, headily sweet scent
We have omitted roses because many have almost no scent to them. They look great though!
Foliage for Your Eyes
There are many visual landscaping ideas so I’ll concentrate on trees since you’ll have flowers and bushes and that beautiful flagstone walkway already.
No tree is as visually pleasing as a weeping willow swaying sedately in a gentle breeze. You could do worse than place one somewhere in your garden. It’s not a choice everyone would make, but be bold and try one.
Another tree that your eyes will never grow tired of is the Japanese White Birch with its snowy bark and red and yellow leaves.
Relaxing Ideas for Your Ears
Just try to stay tense in your garden with a warm sun on your face, a gentle breeze flowing through the trees, and the trickle of water from a fountain or babbling book.
A fountain makes for a good choice when you have limited space as one can be placed just about anywhere you can get to an electrical hookup. If you have more space, a brook running through part of your garden is hard to beat.
