Garden Design for Under $50,000

In one section of a garden in Douglasville, Ga., homeowners Paul and Sherry Beggs have created a vibrant seating area underneath a pergola and near a gurgling fountain. The garden was on view during the 2015 Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival, Garden Tour and Flower Show.

With a more extensive budget, you can create a variety of interesting outdoor spaces for you and your guests to enjoy. On their 12-acre Georgia property, homeowners Sherry and Paul Beggs designed the garden and selected everything, including the materials, for the walkways and fence, trees and plants, fountains and sculptures. They brought in experts to build structures, such as the fence and the arbor, which is covered in American wisteria 'Amethyst Falls.'

The curved lines appealed to the artistic side of homeowner Sherry Beggs, when she and her husband, Paul, designed their Georgia garden and brought in flowering plants, such as hydrangeas, trees, seating, such as benches and a swing, sculptures and structures that include a custom pergola. Their investment has created a lovely garden, which was on the 2015 Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival Garden Tour. 

With a budget of up to $50,000, you can create different areas for you to enjoy and your guests to explore. This garden, with a pond, sculptures and various seating areas, was on tour during the 2015 Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival, an annual event in Douglas County, Ga.
