To make a bold statement in a garden you can opt for hard features and structures or soft features created by plants and flowers.

I personally err towards the plantsmans view and like plants. However the use of one variety in great abundance can have a startling effect as these Abu Hassan Tulips show.

Sticking to the Arabian theme not everyone can have a centuries old moorish bath in the garden like the featured garden below. The distinctly moorish shapes are replicated through out with the addition of large pots & stands both terracotta and glazed.

Gardens both large and small follow the hard and soft landscaping options. The micro garden can also have many plants that flower in the profusion of this Calceolaria ‘Walter Shrimpton’. Contrast this with the hard landscaped rock garden features where this plant is at home.
