Garden design and style is influenced by Gardeners, 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.
Style is a personal choice made by the gardener but influenced by nature.

Top Ten Garden Styles

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

There are so many gardens that could be designed that a top 10 list is subjective in the extreme. The content of the garden then goes to the heart of the gardens style.
A woodland garden came very close to inclusion in out top ten and is a natural feature that many want to cultivate.
We 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.
Top of the shop should have been my garden (or my wife’s and our garden).
