Top Ten Garden Designs

Garden design is influenced by Location, Objectives and Resources. No two people would design the same garden for the same space nor would that garden grow and develop in the same manner.

My Top Ten Garden Styles

  1. Cottage garden
  2. Wild or Environmentally friendly garden
  3. Walled or Victorian garden
  4. Family and traditional garden
  5. Fruit and Vegetable plot
  6. Alpine or Rock garden
  7. National garden, Italian, Japanese, Swiss, Spanish, New Zealand or Mediterranean
  8. Sculpture garden
  9. TheĀ  Peace garden
  10. Water garden

There are so many gardens that could be designed that a top 10 list is subjective in the extreme. A woodland garden came very close to inclusion and is a natural feature that many want to cultivate.I could have selected a ‘garden of rooms’ but that is often a technique used in many of the above types of garden. Specialist plantings like Rose gardens or Herbaceous gardens could have had there own spot but I had to finish somewhere.
