The enjoyment of fine gardening comes not only from the finished garden but from the endless hours that is spent designing and planning the actual garden, from the moment of the first thought, to the moment the last tree is placed, and plant the last flower. All that work should show through when first a person steps into this yard of fine gardening, a place of peace and calm where a person can meditate on the finer things in life. Consider constructing a water feature, ideally one that will give a continuous soothing gurgle, with a small stepping-type of waterfall-cum-pond, placed on lovely slabs of flat dark rock with a hint of moss growing on it. A nice water lily or lotus to give off a contrasting color, and perhaps a few fish. Some ferns and leafy rain-forest type plants placed around the pond big it to life and this finishes this stage of fine gardening. Consider a large tree to stand in a corner of the garden, with a luscious velvety dark brown trunk that can just about span an arm, covered with vibrant green leaves spilling onto the ground in heedless abandon. Since green is a peaceful color, Consider also laying a lovely shady lawn that you can sink your bare feet into when taking a turn about the garden area. Create a little alcove, unseen from afar, that would afford the curious visitor a wide-angled view of the whole garden, with a sun shade, and a low-lying bench with a few plump cushions strewn carelessly about, and all of it surrounded by a profusion of welcoming colorful flowers.
