The island bed trend in garden design is big news right now. This aesthetic is a good fit with other current ideas like naturalistic planting and introducing more organic, curvy shapes. If you're looking for ideas on how to add some interest to a dull rectangle or square of lawn, creating a thoughtfully planted island bed will transform the space.
Whether you have a small garden that you want to make look bigger, or a large one where you want to create a feeling of intimacy, these 'floating' features can add a designer touch that really helps to 'finish' the space. Island beds can be walked around and seen from all sides, which helps to elevate your garden design into more of a showpiece.
