How to Create a Stunning Entrance for Your Garden
Why fuss over the entrance to a garden?
Well, for one thing, it is the first thing you see. It makes a statement right up front and can set the tone for the rest of the garden.
A garden entrance is also a perfect place for a gardener to express their unique personality and design aesthetic.
The possibilities are simply endless. An entrance can be everything from rustic to sophisticated and formal, spare to romantic and vine covered.

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
Incorporating a structure like an arbor at the front of your garden can impart a sense of order to the natural chaos that is a cottage style flower garden.
Arbors can come in all shapes and sizes. They can also be opened or gated.
A gate is a perfect place to display accessories like a bell, a welcome sign or a decorative wreath. The hinges, latch and handle are adornments that can dress-up even the most basic garden gate.
Building materials offer a wide range of design alternatives. If wood seems too rustic for your tastes, wrought iron is another classic option.
Wood and metal can also be combined beautifully.
There are so many options for creating a garden entrance that the hardest part is trying to decide among them!
