A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Fret! You Can Still Have a Water Fountain
A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Fret! You Can Still Have a Water Fountain Since water is reflective, it has the effect of making a smaller spot appear larger than it is. Augmenting the reflective attributes of a fountain or water feature are possible by using dark materials. When the sun goes down, you can use underwater lights in different colors and shapes to illuminate your new feature. Solar powered eco-lights are great during the day and underwater lights are perfect for nighttime use.
Alleviating stress and anxiety with their relaxing sounds are some of the uses in nature medicine. The greenery in your garden is the perfect place to situate your water feature. Your pond, man-made river, or fountain is the perfect feature to draw people’s interest. Water features make great add ons to both large gardens or small patios. Considerably transforming the ambience is possible by locating it in the most appropriate place and include the finest accompaniments.
Anglo Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest
The introduction of the Normans in the 2nd half of the eleventh century irreparably improved The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle. The expertise of the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons' in architecture and agriculture at the time of the conquest. But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could concentrate on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Monasteries and castles served separate purposes, so while monasteries were enormous stone structures built in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the residents focused on learning offensive and defensive tactics. Peaceful pastimes such as gardening were out of place in these destitute citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is represented in Berkeley Castle, which is perhaps the most unscathed example we have. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring attackers from tunneling beneath the walls, an immense terrace encircles the building. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and enclosed by an aged hedge of yew that has been shaped into coarse battlements.
