Art has an essential aesthetic role in the garden. Sculpture placement in a garden setting is challenging and exciting and should enhance appreciation of both the art and the garden. Painting is a fertile source for design inspiration in landscape
architecture. Works of art from many eras and styles suggest paving, pathways, bridges, and broad fields of color for the garden. Learn Mr van Sweden’s design techniques to create a landscape where the functionality of the garden and the aesthetic elements combine so completely that it is hard to imagine one without the other.
