About the Video:
With the amount of garden styles to choose from, choosing the “right” garden style gets overwhelming for beginner gardeners really quickly. There’s cottage and woodland and meadow gardens. Japanese and Mediterranean and contemporary gardens. Formal and English and French gardens. The list goes on and on…
Whether you're planning a garden update/makeover, starting a new garden from scratch or just buying some new garden furniture and décor, this video will help you determine a garden style and make garden planning easier.
Most garden styles can be grouped into a few larger categories:
-Traditional Garden Style
The perfect garden for colonial, Italian and French inspired architecture, traditional garden styles focus on symmetry and balance. Dominated by green lawn spaces that are balanced by green trees and green shrubs, traditional garden styles are usually not filled with color. Many times you’ll see traditional gardens using only white as an accent color.
-Cottage Garden Style
Cottage gardens are the relaxed and sometimes unruly offspring of the traditional garden style. In cottage gardens, plants have a tendency to spill over lawns and paths, creating softer edges. The cottage garden features colorful ornamentals, edibles, herbs and medicinals all mixed together as one.
-Modern/Contemporary Garden Style
Modern landscape can be defined as clean-lined, hard-edged and minimalistic. In this design style, you’ll find asymmetrical and sometimes interlocking, lawn and patio shapes combined with smooth and sleek hardscaping elements.
-Natural (New Perennial) Garden Style
A natural garden reflects the natural landscape that surrounds it, so the style of this garden will vary depending on where you live. A naturalistic garden is rooted in plant selection, taking into account both ecology and design. Material choices in natural gardens are rustic to suit the wild and free planting.

i have found that the "traditional" bones, especially edgings, keep the cottage garden or naturalistic garden from looking completely unkempt. we found semi rustic concrete edgers and outlined the beds and paths, which meant that no matter how wild the bed looked it was clear "thats deliberate". i will also say that as a disabled gardener, one of the things that gets overlooked (guilty as charged) is how much maintenance the specific plants and hardscape take to keep within beds, or to keep the "look" you want. My husband wanted wood chips on a specific path, but no edging! and... uh... yeah, in our specific location that just means weeds, wood chips migrating all over, and so on. it also makes it hard for me as i cant just mow it flat without throwing woodchips at my legs. so we use a clover mix, now, on our paths... and sometimes flagstone or etc in areas , so i can use the electric push mower to go over the paths and neaten them. likewise, bramble type plants (blackberry, rasberry, etc) even the thornless ones! tend to try to sprawl, so for me are best confined to an area with a trellis or fence, so i can keep them out of my way- but upright growing bushes require once a year maintenance and can be put close to a pathway without too much hassle (yes i planted my spreading rose far too close to the sidewalk)

I’ve been gardening for about 10 years but only in the past few years have I really been trying to develop the landscape of what was almost a blank slate of a yard and your videos are so helpful. It’s nice to see the patterns I’ve been noticing in my preferences put into words and list form so I can lean into the elements I want. My house/yard came with some pretty traditional-style hardscaping and I like some swaths of green lawn (clover and grass) with a cleanly defined edge, but I like a bit more color and a looser style in the actual beds. Realizing that my style and what is already in place is a mix of traditional and cottage has really helped me from getting overwhelmed with the abundance of choice when it comes to plant selection and placement.

That photo you shared of the first "mixed" style is one of the ones I selected years ago as inspiration for the look I wanted! I was also inspired by New York's highline. I have a 1960s bungalow and lots of clean, sharp angles on my property but want to mix in softness with lots of grasses and prairie plantings. I have also been working on a mini-orchard in my backyard based on permaculture principles.

When I dream of transforming my garden I am drawn towards the look and feel of Japanese gardens. I wonder what style Japanese gardens fall under or perhaps they are a style of their own.

Usually a pretty limited plant and color palette, which would be modern. But you can always mix different elements of styles together. There's tons of info about garden styles on my website at prettypurpledoor.com/garden-styles

@@PrettyPurpleDoor We're generally happy where it is now :) , just waiting for our shrubs and flowers to grow and fill in the gaps. Our goal is a perennial border, similar to a cottage garden in flower types (daylilies, peonies, irises, stonecrop, hosta etc etc) just less 'cluttered' with plantings in slightly more distinct 'clumps'.
