What about all the stupid little things? Focal point bench, above, softened with plantings in the pot cluster. My broken head collection is used as a Subsidiary Focal Point. Watering can too.
Tucked into the Hydrangea 'Anna Belle', the blue/white egg is hidden from most views.
Ezra, my Gethling, above, tucked into a shady spot. Most people never see Ezra indicating he's a well placed subsidiary focal point..
Subsidiary Focal Points are delightfully devious to children. They GET the fantasy. Who knew? Gardening fully for yourself is gardening for children too.

I was wondering how to incorporate the subsidiaries. . . thanks for the post & especially for the pix!
ReplyDeleteThe little cabin in the woods that we're buying and will SOME day move into (hopefully by end of January) has a fun little surprise you'll appreciate.
Off to the side of one of the garden rooms is the head of a little dalmatian dog looking through the fence INTO the garden area! I intend to leave it exactly where it is as it is PERFECTION & it will be fun to see which of the grandchildren discover it first!
