Moon gates for modern gardensThe traditional Chinese gardens of the wealthy boasted monumental features such as pavilions, temples and galleries. Moon gates reached imposing heights of several metres, requiring tonnes of stone.In today’s smaller gardens, a lighter approach to scale and materials injects the charm of the moon gate without the grandeur and bulk. Rather than a solid wall, this moon gate is constructed from timber and set in an open trellis that filters the view and doesn’t overwhelm the compact space.

5. A tiny garden can be magical A small space begs for a dramatic touch. Why not follow your heart and add a really special piece to your compact garden? Consider a moon gate (like the one shown here), fountain, sculpture, mosaic path or a special rare flower or tree specimen.
