Adding Magic Elephant Ear with velvety leaves is also a good idea. You can also include Britt Marie Crawford – it shows off dark leaves. One more great option for the goth garden is Black Leaf Sweet Potato Vine with showy intense dark leaves.
Molded iron showpieces like an arch, gate, or trellis and statues look interesting and give a spectacular touch to goth gardens. For a mysterious look, use an arbor or trellis and allow the vines to trail on it. After spring, when plants die out or in winter, let the dead vines stay there for gothic vibes.
Install a dragon statue or winged monster. A wrought iron weathercock showcasing bat, crow,

Indoor gardening takes many forms, from microgreen kits to windowsill herb pots to home hydroponic systems. And then there's the "Garden in a Bag." Exactly as its name suggests—these cute paper bags are filled with soil and seeds that will grow into one of many plant varieties on a sunny windowsill. This is a fun way to have a steady supply of fresh herbs or flowers year-round.

If there’s one thing that gets my goat, its, what’s in and what’s out in gardening. Now honestly I don’t want to alienate myself, of course everyone’s entitled to an opinion but don’t you sometimes think there is a bit of inverted snobbery going on.

I am mad about the Summer mixed perennial borders which give that great to be alive feeling. The Rose borders are charming, the Scottish Heather borders can look great.

Picture of our front garden, I promise it was once more packed when the flower borders were wider than this. Whats not to like.
