What are some practical tips for implementing repetition in my garden?

Start by selecting a few key plants or materials and using them multiple times throughout the space. Consider the colour, texture, and form of these elements, ensuring they complement each other to create a unified look.

How can I effectively incorporate repetition without making my garden feel monotonous?

To avoid monotony, vary the scale, texture, and colour of repeated elements while maintaining a consistent theme. Additionally, introduce contrasting features at intervals to break up the repetition and keep the design engaging.
