You don’t need a plane ticket, a tank full of gas or a train ride to enjoy a bit of paradise. Create your own in a small alcove, large patio or deck in your own backyard.
Start by visualizing what paradise looks and feels like to you. A table and chair surrounded by beautiful plants makes a wonderful space to relax, read a book and enjoy some alone time. For some, it means a patio or deck filled with colorful planters and surrounded by ornamental grasses, vine covered trellises, flowering shrubs and evergreens. These will help define the space, provide privacy, mask unwanted noise and provide a great space for entertaining.
