As the evenings get darker, lighting becomes an increasingly important part of the garden. Used carefully it does more than simply make a space visible. Low-level lighting can pick out the structure of planting, draw attention to the form of a tree or the movement of grasses. Creating depth through pockets of light and shadow keeps the connection between house and garden alive, making the transition between inside and out feel softer and more inviting.
