Segment the plants to make the garden look more organized. Be careful to use too many elements as this may reduce the look of spaciousness, especially in a small area. For instance, to segment the garden, you may segment an area of coarse gravel, rugged plants such as cactus, which have a lot of texture, can be placed to this section to enhance the visual composition.
