The Gift of Sound
Most people think about a garden as a visual feast, with plants, flowers, trees, and all manner of beautiful foliage. However, a garden can also be a feast for the other senses, including sound which most people disregard. Though it can be difficult to think of what a garden sounds like, there are a few unique features you can add which will provide an aural aesthetic to the outdoor space. Here are a few ideas:
~Water Fountains – the sound of rushing, moving, or dripping water has fascinated humans since the beginning of time; a fountain will provide intense relaxation and hours of auditory enjoyment.
~Wind Chimes – most every location has at least a little wind, and wind chimes can make several different sounds depending on their composition of wood and metal.
~Insects – honey bees buzzing around is a sound which promotes natural harmony; a bee house will encourage bees to frequent your garden.
