Symmetry and balance are important factors to take into consideration when planning your garden. Symmetry can be effective when you are thinking about including formal features in the design. Having a container either side of the door with a couple a choice shrubs can look very eye catching. If you have a formal garden, a line of lavender running either side of the path would be pleasing to the eye and smell lovely in summer. As in nature though we don’t really see that much symmetry. It’s more of a balance.
Balance in nature is something to add to a design. Look at how plants and flowers grow in the wild and how they complement one another. The balance is all about a pleasing visual diversity of plants and hard landscape features. Imagine a brick pathway winding through a large, lush green lawn or a clump of trees being balanced by a bed of hostas underneath and you are getting the idea.
