Garden Styles

The best thing you can do is to look in a lot of gardening magazines/books and visit different styles of gardens if you can. Rip out pictures (or make a copy) make photographs of what you like and put them in an organizer or make a collage.

Some styles to think about are:

  • Contemporary gardens
  • Rock gardens
  • Cottage gardens
  • Family gardens
  • Wildlife gardens
  • Water gardens
  • Rose gardens
  • Patio and Courtyard gardens
  • Roof top and balcony gardens
  • Vegetables and herb gardens
  • Oriental garden
  • Formal garden
  • Secret garden
  • Woodland garden
