Create a garden island By LORNA BONHAM Creating a garden island in a large expanse of lawn can provide interest and a place for the eye to rest, as well as a place to showcase plants. Visually a planting in the lawn makes a large space seem smaller, more intimate, and provides a reason to walk out into the lawn. When determining the size of the separate garden, remember, the lawn area around the garden needs to be at least four feet wide so two people can walk comfortably side-by-side. Using a garden hose to mark the location and shape of the prospective island will help you visualize the fin- ished island. A guide for the ultimate size of the island garden can be to take a hoe and reach as far as you can and double that distance. This is the size that you can work the garden without stepping into it. If you don’t mind venturing into the bed, it can be larger. In an informal garden, the lines would be curved. The curved lines will also make mowing the surrounding lawn easier. In a formal setting, straight lines would be better. While the garden hose has marked the island and no sod has been removed, walk around the island. If a decorative ornament is being added, set it in place or simulate it’s height with a stake. This is also a good time to get out the lawn mower and, with out starting it up, walk it around the island to make sure the curves are gentle enough for smooth mowing. If everything looks okay, mark the planned borders by driving plant stakes at the corners or edges and put string from stake to stake for a guide. The garden island can remain flat, even with the lawn, or they can be built up somewhat. The height of the island can feature a special plant, highlight a sculpture or create a strong focal point. Now that the island bed location, size and shape is determined and the outline is completed, construction can begin. Dig a two or three foot strip of sod from around the inside edge of the bed. Unless you have invasive grass such as bermuda, this excess sod can be piled upside down in the center of the area. Bring in good soil to pile on top of the upside down sod and add fertilizer. Smooth the soil out, tapering down to the lawn. Be sure to make your berm a foot or two higher than the desired height because soil settles and height will be lost in time. Now it is time to personalize your island with the plants and the orna- mentation you choose. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The program on Tuesday, Feb. 22 will be on ‘Herbs’ with Rebecca Yarrow. For more infor- mation, see the Web page at www.red- bluffgardenclub.com or call 527-4578.
