What is a focal point when designing a garden?

Focal points in a garden

The focal point is an interesting element where the eye comes to rest when viewing a garden. The focal point of a garden may be a bench, a striking Japanese maple, a garden sculpture, or your neighbor's majestic oak tree. There should be only one focal point to any view, but a series of focal points can take the visitor from area to area in a garden. This creates movement, a very important element to any garden.
