Enhance Your Garden With A Gazebo
By Gardening Editor
With a little bit of extra work, you could take your simple garden and turn it into something wondrous!
Have you ever wondered if tending a garden was worth the effort? With all the work involved from preparing the soil to planting the seeds to cutting a handful of flowers or harvesting a few vegetables after waiting months, you'd think a garden should do more than simply look pretty or bear fruit for a little while. Even when your friends come over, the best you can do is show them your garden and talk over the work you've done for a few minutes. And then what? Nothing. But the situation doesn't have to be that way. With a little bit of extra work, you could take your simple garden and turn it into something wondrous!
The way to make a garden an interactive part of your life instead of just a party decoration is with a gazebo. A gazebo is a garden structure that is either put on the outer edges of a garden or, preferably, right in the middle. You may have to place your gazebo on the outside of your garden and grow new plants around the structure, if you already have an established garden.
How does adding a gazebo to your garden make that space more interactive? Well, a gazebo is like a small cottage with no walls. Consider the benefits of a roofed structure in your garden: You can place a table and chairs in the midst and enjoy the outdoors, no matter if it's raining or not. You can sit and enjoy a steaming mug of coffee while the rain falls or have cool drinks when the weather is nice. And when your friends come over, they, too, can sit with you amidst nature and your plants for conversation and companionship. Before, they could only sit at your kitchen table near the stove. The gazebo offers the experience of not just walking out to your garden but taking part in it.
Gazebos are not, as so many garden structures are, merely pretty. They are also rather practical. Since a gazebo is set away from the house and yet still feels to be part of the home, it opens up a wealth of options. If you, your spouse, or some of your guests smoke, a gazebo offers a lovely place safe from the elements that people can step away to for a cigarette, leaving your home odor and smoke free. Also, since the gazebo is separate from the home and yet still part of it, the structure gives you a place to step away from time to time, as even those in the most wonderful relationships need a little space from each other.

Garden Design Facts & Tips
Remember, nothing happens immediately. When you first set up your garden, it may look a bit cluttered, in spite of your best efforts to reduce that awkward look while small plants strive to take root. Once your plants start hitting their full growth, that unattractive stage ends and you can remove supporting structures to leave only nature. By the time plants have reached full maturity, you'll have an absolutely beautiful-looking garden.
