Decorating With Topiary.....For Your Home And Gardens

I was surprised to discover that the use of topiary dates back to Roman times. Since it's European revival in the 16th century, topiary has been seen on the terraces and in gardens of the European elite, as well as in simple cottage gardens. Traditional topiary forms use foliage pruned and/or trained into geometric shapes such as balls or cubes,obelisks, pyramids, cones, or tapering spirals. Artificial topiary is also popular and often used to supply indoor greenery for home or office decoration. I know that many designers won't use silk foliage I am different. Yes the market is full of cheap and ugly silk stems and foliage. However, there are also some EXCELLENT quality interior landscape products. Since most people cannot afford real flowers on a daily basis and most can't keep live plants healthy (nothing looks worse than straggly, sickly plants) I have no problem using top quality artificial. So whether real or not, consider topiary to accessorize your home.

You do not have to be as captivated with them as Ed here, however do deliver topiary a strive for your interiors and exteriors.
