*The most popular garden styles

*The JAPANESE STYLEThe major concept of the Japanese garden is to create a miniature of the natural landscape which surrounds us. For that reason, some stones, white sand, gravelled surface , water cascades are used to provide its natural character . The most stunning feature of it is the fact that there is a small number of items and a lot of unrestricted space which gives visitors an impression of freedom and stimulates their imagination.  

* The FRENCH STYLE

The French style garden is one of the most representative and impressive styles of gardens based on symmetry. Visitors can admire carefully trimmed trees, shrubs and bushes , usually shaped in various range of figures. A regular garden arrangement gives us an impression that everything was planned in a line .

*The RUSTIC STYLEThe Rustic style garden makes its look from the farmhouse’s surrounding. There are numerous plants growing close to each other . At first glance it seems to be a slight compositional chaos. This is a purposely planned effect. The Rustic or country style garden gives an impression of freedom , carefree and happiness. It is the garden where herbs, colourful flowers ,shrubs, fruit trees and vegetables dominate.

* The ENGLISH STYLEThe idea of the English garden is to be combined with a surrounded landscape . Its major feature is to be irregular, asymmetrical and freely designed . It has got large areas of lawns, meadows, natural ponds of water including an unevenness of terrain. Garden paths run along curves among tress, shrubs and flower beds combining the different parts of the garden. It does not have a fence.

*The MODERNIST STYLE

It is associated with minimalism and the return to geometric forms. The garden’s compositions are very expressive and may surprise visitors with the contrast of colours, forms and materials. The length, shape and colour of plants determines the garden’s appearance.
