garden style
Before we start with a design process, it can be good to ask yourself a couple of questions. What kind of garden character do we fit in with, does the garden reflect our personality? Which plant compositions do you/you stick to most easily?
Below are different garden styles . Which environment would you most like to live in? Painting a picture of you as a garden type makes the planning more easily adapted to then fulfill your wishes!
