The Modern Garden
For those who appreciate a more clean and architectural outdoor space, modern gardens are the way to go. Modern gardens focus on geometric form, limited colour and textural palettes, and clean lines that mimic the surrounding structures.
Key Features
Geometric Form: Modern gardens use straight lines, simple geometric shapes, and vertical accents to complement the surrounding architecture.
Simplicity: For a clean look, modern garden design is intentional about using limited colour and textural palettes both in the hardscaping and plant choice.
Intentional Spaces: Modern gardens are centered around functionality and include clearly defined open spaces for the intended use.
TIP: A well-designed modern garden uses these key features to create an open and inviting space that is well-balanced with repeating patterns, colours, and textures.
Featured Plants
Modern gardens tend to limit plants to those with geometric forms, including spherical, columnar, and vertical growth habits.
