How To Create A Garden Feature With A Light Mirror.

One of the most existing ways to create a garden feature is to use a planter plant in front of the mirror against a wall or place on a mirror with up lighting on the ground. Using a wall the planters refection is projected into the garden and when the light mirror has the planter placed onto it, it seems to be sitting in a pool of water as the planter refection can be seen in the mirror.
This is a great effect which can be used to create interest in smaller courtyard gardens were space is at a premium. Some suitable plants to use in the planter as bold well structured plants that create strong shadows such as Skimmias and clipped buxus or box plants.
