Garden Bridges Rule, Water Or Not
By Kathy Moran
You take great pride in your yard. Season after season, you work outside in the evenings and on the weekends, spending your precious leisure time manicuring hedges, planting gardens, mowing grass, raking leaves, shoveling snow, and decorating, so that your landscape will look its best. Year after year, you strive to add new touches that will make your yard even more outstanding. You want something that will give it an extra special feeling, spice it up, personalize it, and, let’s face it, draw gasps of awe and incredulity from all who see it. This year, if you really want to do something spectacular for the scenery, try a garden bridge. No matter what kind of yard or garden you have, a bridge will turn it into an extraordinary showplace. It will create an enchanting focal point that will immediately enhance the beauty of any stream, creek, lake, or pond. It will also offer a place of peaceful solitude, where the comforting reflections of the water can engage the quiet reflections of the soul. Even if you don’t have a body of water – or, perhaps, especially if you don’t – a bridge is the perfect accent for your garden. It can conjure the illusion of water, while evoking feelings of serenity almost equal to those elicited by a murmuring stream. Somehow, the mere presence of a picturesque garden bridge has the power to bestow a calming effect on everyone who gazes upon it. For a striking garden centerpiece, you can situate your bridge over a grouping of decorative stones. Putting it near a bed of colorful flowers will provide an eye-catching vantage point for viewing them. You can also use it as an ornamental structure along a path, or across your walkway. Beautiful, versatile,
