Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the need for structures in your garden like pergolas and gazebos. They bring height, for one, and also give you the opportunity to introduce shade, cover from the elements, and screen from your neighbors' upstairs windows. Don't you just hate being overlooked when you're trying to have a nice al fresco dinner?
However, it's a rare gazebo that I ever think really feels at home in a garden, especially when the big garden trends of this year are all about more naturalistic, wild spaces.
