For dramatic style and effect garden lighting has become almost an art form. Knowing where to put subtle lighting as opposed to dramatic lighting can create effects that can lead to awe inspired compliments.
Inexpensive solar lights placed at the garden's edge or within flower bedding can illuminate the beauty of the blooms and give the garden depth. Solar lights are also environmentally friendly. They can also be moved easily until you find the right configuration for your space.

String lighting added to tree limbs can give the tree an eye catching appeal especially in winter months when it is barren of any leaves.
Floating solar lights added to a pond or swimming pool give an ambiance to a well lit garden. There are several styles available including balls and lily pads.
Up lighting placed at the base of a tree or structure such as a statue can give a dramatic effect as well as add security to the area.
Down lighting placed on the eaves overhang of a house can give not only security but highlight the bushes, shrubs, and plants that surround the home.
Recessed lighting can illuminate from the ground up and can give safety to walkways, stairs, and accent smaller plants from beneath.

Overhead lighting can be used to provide a focal point on a patio or deck to a table or seating area; and/or, container garden that you have used to define the space.
When placing lights among plants be sure to consider how much (if any) heat the lights might create. Some plants may not be able to tolerate heat producing lights. Check with your nursery or lighting specialist if you are not sure about the correct lighting for specific garden areas.
