"While I design the architecture, interiors and gardens for some of the worlds best resorts, I consider myself, first and foremost, a landscape architect. Here are five important tips on how to add tropical luxury to your garden:\n\nAdd fire. Fire in any form is good. Oil lanterns and candles are fine, but my favorite technique is to use gas. It is powerful, effective and easy to turn on and off for that last-minute party.Use oversized pottery. One enormous pot is far more powerful than many little ones.Incorporate many light sources in your garden, and don&amp;#39;t let any source of light be seen. Always use more light outside than inside to make the barrier of indoors and outdoors disappear.Redesign the smallest and most visible part of your garden so that it can easily change every three months. In the tropics, we rip up small parts of a garden on a regular basis.Add fabrics to benches and chairs in colors that jive with your plantings. That is the key, and these days there is a plethora of fabulous outdoor fabrics that can withstand the elements for years."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
