Everyone loves garden art. It can amplify the peacefulness of a garden. It can make you smile. Is there a place for it in one of your beds?

Have an empty area that needs planting? Or dead plants that need replacing? Want to replace some lawn with a landscaped bed instead? Here are more ideas.

Curbs and beauty strips can be tough, inhospitable places. But that does not mean they can't be beautiful and charming as well. Consider drought-tolerant plantings, especially if you can't install irrigation.

With so many attractive pots and ceramic containers available these days, you'll have a great time picking out something perfect for your space. Brighten a corner where there is no bed to plant. And paired with garden art, you can end up with delightful combinations.

Cacti aren't just for the desert anymore. They can be used alone or mixed in with drought-tolerant plantings to make refreshingly different landscapes. Believe it or not, there are many winter hardy cacti (see http://www.highcountrygardens.com)

Create your own 'peace' of heaven on earth. Hide from the world, let the kids run wild, entertain guests. Or create separate areas to do all three and more.
