Gardening is the art of growing plants with the goal of crafting a purposeful landscape. Residential gardening most often takes place in or about a residence, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located in a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio or vivarium.

A sculpture garden is a garden that features outdoor art in a landscaped environment.  The most important aspect of the sculptures chosen is that they should be made from very durable materials.

For items in any outdoor garden remember this: Clay, granite and bronze age, concrete deteriorates. 

Sculptures or other items in your garden made from natural stone or bronze will actually become more attractive as they age.  Items made from concrete just look as if they need to be replaced.

If you live in an arid or dry region you might consider creating a paradise garden.   The most basic feature of paradise gardens is that they are enclosed by walls or other structures.  This helps make this type of garden water efficient.

This type of garden evolved as a way to have a lush garden in desert or semi-desert climates.

The Paradise garden is a form of garden, originally just paradise, a word derived from the Avestan language, or Old Persian. Its original meaning was a walled-in compound or garden; from pairi (around) and daeza or diz (wall, brick, or shape). The name has come to be commonly used in English and other European languages as an alternative for heaven. Because of the additional meanings for the word, the enclosed garden of the original concept is now often referred to as a paradise garden.
