The Modern garden uses strong shapes and textures to emphasize the design. These gardens are very pared down and don’t need a lot of plants. Instead plantings come in big groups of the same plant to create a mass effect. It’s all about creating strong geometry and forms. Paths are angular and the lines are crisp and clean. The garden is elegant in its simplicity and restraint. You won’t see a lot of colors here. Less is more so if you like going to the garden center every weekend and buying plants, this is not the garden for you. You must be fearless with this garden in sticking with simplicity.
