Most garden-related activities – strolling through them, pulling out weeds, planting new seedlings and harvesting a bunch of flowers, fruit and veg – are highly meditative. But even the most rambling garden requires a little planning and purpose.
If you’re not sure where to go next with your garden, or are stuck for ideas establishing a new one, this list of the most common types of gardens is sure to help!
From tropical, indoor and more, these garden design ideas can either take up a whole yard, or a portion of one. If you like, create a garden dedicated entirely to all of the different types of roses. Or, if you can’t commit to one idea (or one flower, for that matter), consider dividing your backyard into zones; a cottage garden with a vegie patch, perhaps?
No matter what kind of gardener you are or the amount of garden space you have, there’s bound to be something here to suit your home and climate among this list of the 31 most popular garden design styles.
HOW DO I LAYOUT MY GARDEN?
How you layout your garden really depends upon the look and style you’re going for, as well as what you’re planning on planting – always check what will suit first!
For example, most basic garden layout for vegies consists of long, north-to-south rows of planting, which allows for the best sun exposure and air circulation. Conversely, if you think your garden will primarily be an space to entertain, you’ll want to plan various ‘zones’ to suit, such as a pergola or outdoor kitchen. A lot of people also like to include ‘borders’, such as hedges or areas bordered by garden edging.

ACCESSIBLE GARDEN
Kate Herd’s riverside garden 7km from Melbourne’s CBD is many things: lush, sprawling (it’s over 2.4 hectares) and abloom with an eclectic mix of [native and exotic plants](https://www.homestolove.com.au/native-exotic-plant-garden-19420|target=”_blank”). But in addition to these things, it also happens to be accessible. Dry-stone walls and granitic-sand paths designed for wheelchair access wind down the hill to the billabong below.

**BALCONY GARDEN**
In the city, where shoebox apartments and high-rise living are the norm, having a passion for gardening can be tough. But if you’re lucky enough to have even the tiniest of balconies, you can still flex those gardening muscles. First thing’s first: find out how much light and wind hits your balcony during the course of a day and get to work choosing plants that [suit those conditions](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-grow-plants-in-difficult-conditions-9540|target=”_blank”). Here are [three key steps to creating a successful balcony garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/balcony-gardens-9557|target=”_blank”).

COASTAL GARDEN
Landscaper Matt Leacy says when it comes to creating a successful coastal garden, plant selection is everything. “Choose plants that can withstand salty and windy conditions,” he says. Both native Australian plants and tropical plants are popular choices. See how Matt transformed this once lacklustre backyard into a [coastal oasis perfect for entertaining](https://www.homestolove.com.au/coastal-style-garden-makes-entertaining-a-breeze-2961|target=”_blank”).

CONTAINER GARDEN
Container gardens, or potted gardens, are extremely versatile. Not only are they great for beginner gardeners, but they can be created indoors and out, on the largest of verandahs or the tiniest of balconies. They also have the advantage of being portable. This [container garden in Katoomba](https://www.homestolove.com.au/container-garden-katoomba-13869|target=”_blank”), for example, is a delight to the eyes. If you like the idea of growing edible plants in pots, here are the best [fruit and vegetables to grow in containers](https://www.homestolove.com.au/best-fruit-and-vegetables-to-grow-in-pots-18970|target=”_blank”).

**CONTEMPORARY MINIMAL GARDEN**
The trick to nailing a contemporary minimal garden is to focus on foliage and texture, rather than masses of striking flowers. Plants are positioned to compliment and echo the architectural features of the home, rather than be the hero in their own right. This [contemporary Sydney garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/contemporary-coastal-garden-19589|target=”_blank”) features a mix of bamboo, buxus plantings and a trio of potted succulents. Champions of this style include [Garden Life’s Richard Unsworth](https://www.homestolove.com.au/striking-garden-by-richard-unsworth-of-garden-life-5467|target=”_blank”) and landscape designer [Kate Seddon](https://www.homestolove.com.au/an-elegant-yet-eclectic-garden-in-south-yarra-3871|target=”_blank”).

**COTTAGE GARDEN**
Cottage gardens are the antithesis of ornamental manicured estate gardens. You’ll find no mazes, or created lakes here. Instead you’ll find densely planted flowers, climbing roses and the fragrance of lavender in the air. Add a herb garden, vegetable patch and a fruit tree and you’ve got all the underpinnings of a charming cottage garden. This [cottage garden on the Mornington Peninsula](https://www.homestolove.com.au/formal-cottage-garden-italy-5954|target=”_blank”) is filled with sentimentality, with many of the plants gifted to the owners by friends and family.

HAMPTONS GARDEN
It’s no secret that the Australian climate lends itself to Hamptons decorating style in the home, but often forgotten is the potential to extend this breezy coastal style into the outdoors. Part coastal, part formal, part luxury resort, a [Hamptons style garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/hamptons-style-garden-design-tips-22811|target=”_blank”) layers structured plantings with feature trees, lush lawns and well-manicured hedges to create a truly liveable garden style to suit any sized space.
**COUNTRY GARDEN**
[Country gardens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/country-garden-ideas-australia-13701|target=”_blank”) come in all shapes and sizes. On one hand, there is the formal English-style garden – with exotic plants like roses and wisteria – and on the other, the modern Australian country garden – with native plants and ornamental, drought-tolerant grasses. Whichever way you sway, country gardens are the backdrop to many a childhood memory, and are a style that will continue to ensure for generations to come.

COURTYARD GARDEN
Courtyard gardens treat the outdoors as an extension of the home. This [coastal outdoor bathroom](https://www.homestolove.com.au/courtyard-garden-by-adam-robinson-design-4030|target=”_blank”) is a great example of how to create an inviting spa-like environment with large-scale feature pots and trailing plants surrounding a luxurious bathing zone, perfect for enjoying a cool summer’s breeze while reading a book.

DROUGHT TOLERANT GARDEN
Warmer temperatures, drought conditions and water-restrictions mean creating a garden that requires less water – i.e. one that is both drought tolerant and water wise – is essential. “You can create any sort of garden – traditional, pretty, formal or contemporary – using water-wise plants,” says landscape designer Adam Fisher. Fortunately, in Australia, many of our [native plants](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-pick-australian-native-plants-for-your-garden-3061 |target=”_blank”) will easily fit the bill. The best thing about these gardens is that they require a lot less attension!

FORMAL GARDEN
There are [five key elements of formal gardens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/the-5-elements-needed-to-create-a-formal-garden-1907|target=”_blank”), two of which are: classic plant choices and water features. Modern Australian formal gardens have begun to veer away from exotic plants for native choices that require less water. Champions of this style are [Paul Bangay and Peter Fudge](https://www.homestolove.com.au/landscaped-gardens-7159|target=”_blank”).

**HERB GARDEN**
Buying a bunch of different herbs at the supermarket can really add to your weekly shopping bill, so investing in some seedlings and growing your own is a great economic choice. Herb gardens can be created outdoors in a garden bed, or indoors in little pots by your kitchen windowsill. Here are [10 easy-grow herb plants](https://www.homestolove.com.au/10-easy-to-grow-herb-plants-3214|target=”_blank”) we recommend for beginners and some [tips for growing herbs indoors](https://www.homestolove.com.au/tips-for-growing-herbs-indoors-6712|target=”_blank”).

INDOOR GARDEN
If your home is styled to perfection but it seems like something’s missing, then an indoor plant could be the magic solution. [Indoor greenery is now the norm](https://www.homestolove.com.au/indoor-greenery-inspiration-5849|target=”_blank”) in modern homes. That’s because plants purify the air and look fantastic too! Looking for a fool-proof indoor plant to get started? Try one from our list of [15 plants that thrive indoors](https://www.homestolove.com.au/top-15-indoor-plants-13251|target=”_blank”).

**JAPANESE INSPIRED GARDEN**
[Inspired by gardens of Japan](https://www.homestolove.com.au/a-wellness-garden-with-a-japanese-influence-7168|target=”_blank”), this surreal space – featuring ceramic rocks and a pond tinted with dye – was created by Geelong-based garden designer Christian Jenkins for Melbourne’s 2018 International Flower & Garden show in support of [Beyondblue](https://www.beyondblue.org.au/|target=”_blank”|rel=”nofollow”). Japanese gardens will usually include large stones, bridges, ponds, Japanese maple and bamboo.

LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN
Have a garden but hate gardening? Or maybe you find yourself travelling too frequently to be pottering around the garden every weekend? Then creating a low-maintenance yard from the get-go is essential. Focus on selecting hardy, evergreen plants and establishing healthy soil. Here are [five ways to create a low maintenance garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-create-a-low-maintenance-garden-3147|target=”_blank”) that basically takes care of itself.

**MANICURED GARDEN**
In a manicured garden, expect to find lawns trimmed to perfection and hedges so square you’d swear they were laser cut. But manicured gardens are adored for more than their regal appearance. They’re also practical, and enable an expanse of land to be transformed into a series of ‘outdoor rooms’ with their own unique functions. Here, a [rocky slope was transformed into a manicured garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/a-rocky-slope-becomes-manicured-garden-6587|target=”_blank”) that is now enjoyed by the owners all year round.

NATIVE AUSTRALIAN GARDEN
After years of shunning our own native flora in favour of traditional and exotic species, there’s finally been a shift. Both professional landscapers and amateur gardeners now prefer to create [Australian native gardens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/australian-native-gardens-19911|target=”_blank”) not only for their hardiness and drought-resistance but for their beauty. Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew consulted with [Wariapendi Native Nursery](http://www.wariapendi.com.au/|target=”_blank”|rel=”nofollow”) in the Southern Highlands to create the gorgeous garden at her [farm cottage in the Blue Mountains](https://www.homestolove.com.au/farm-cottage-blue-mountains-19902|target=”_blank”).

ORGANIC GARDENS
[Creating an organic garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-grow-an-organic-home-garden-8871|target=”_blank”) is perhaps more of a commitment than a true garden style. But it’s a movement that is rapidly influencing gardens all over the country. An organic gardener makes a commitment to fight problems such as pests, weeds and disease with natural solutions. This results in healthier fruits and vegetables, has a positive impact on the environment and will keep bees, birds and good insects happy. A great place to start is by [establishing a compost](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-start-composting-3767|target=”_blank”) and using [natural pest control methods](https://www.homestolove.com.au/5-natural-pest-control-tips-for-your-garden-2276|target=”_blank”).

**PALM SPRINGS INSPIRED GARDEN**
With a renewed interest in mid-century modern design has come a resurgence of [Palm Springs inspired gardens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/palm-springs-garden-16985|target=”_blank”). Creating garden beds that echo the angular architecture of the building is paramount. Just as a cottage needs a garden wild with flowers and rambling roses, so too does a mid-century modern home require sparse, structural plantings that are drought tolerant. That’s because Palm Springs – where this style originates – is in the middle of the Sonoran Desert in south California. [Cacti and succulents](https://www.homestolove.com.au/outdoor-succulent-garden-13998|target=”_blank”), particularly mother-in-law’s-tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) are popular choices for this style of garden.

**RAISED BED GARDEN**
Raised garden beds have multiple benefits: not only do they allow you to customise the soil without digging up the whole yard; they will also – depending on how high you make them – really save your knees and back. This planter, in an [urban Sydney garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/an-urban-garden-with-a-lot-to-offer-6905|target=”_blank”), was constructed from recycled ironbark sleepers stacked on top of each other for a relaxed, rustic look. It’s also the perfect height for the family’s young [kids who love to garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/an-urban-garden-with-a-lot-to-offer-6905|target=”_blank”).

**ROOFTOP GARDEN**
Rooftop gardens, while the peak of luxury apartment living, present a unique challenge when it comes to design. Not only is it important to get the basics right, it’s also important to think about how you’re going to get the plants up there! Landscape designer Michael Bates of [Bates Landscape](https://bateslandscape.com.au/|target=”_blank”|rel=”nofollow”) agrees, saying “Getting the materials up onto the roof [is] a difficult logistical exercise in its own right.” But the end result is oh so worth it, as this [rooftop garden at a Sydney apartment](https://www.homestolove.com.au/a-rooftop-sydney-apartment-and-garden-5877|target=”_blank”) designed by landscape architects at [Black Beetle](https://www.blackbeetle.com.au/|target=”_blank”|rel=”nofollow”) proves.

**ROSE GARDEN**
Is there any flower more romantic than a rose? These classic blooms – which have become a universal symbol of love – are the backbone of every traditional English, or cottage garden. But rose gardens – created to display all the different types of rose varieties – are a garden style in their own right. Start creating a rose garden and you’ll soon be swept up among a crowd of avid collectors. Keep an eye out for heritage [rose varieties](https://www.homestolove.com.au/rose-varieties-australia-3218|target=”_blank”), which are 75 years or older and are beloved for their strong fragrance and hardiness. Here are [ten romantic rose gardens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/romantic-rose-gardens-13868|target=”_blank”) to inspire.

SLOPING GARDEN
From retaining walls and terraces to levelling out the soil completely, there are a few ways to [maximise a sloping garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-maximise-a-sloping-garden-4849|target=”_blank”). While gentler slopes can probably be left untouched and simply reinforced with plants, grass and pathways, harsher slopes may require the creation of several terraced zones and the construction of garden steps.

**SIDE GARDEN**
So you’re all business in the front and party in the back … but what about your side garden? Even if the sides of your home are shrouded in shade, it doesn’t mean you can’t liven things up with a little lovely leafiness. In smaller spaces, consider going vertical. In wider walkways, start with a few good structural shade loving plants (agave or agapanthus are a good choice here), some stepping stones and a [fast-growing groundcover](https://www.homestolove.com.au/a-guide-to-groundcovers-3632|target=”_blank”). Here are [6 stunning side garden ideas](https://www.homestolove.com.au/side-garden-ideas-6803|target=”_blank”) to inspire.

**SMALL GARDEN**
If you think your yard is too small to create an amazing garden, think again! The trick is to use every inch of space you have available, whether it’s vertical walls or a large pot packed with as many plants as possible. From utilising the council verge to planting a few [creepers and climbers](https://www.homestolove.com.au/12-best-vines-and-creepers-for-australian-gardens-13587|target=”_blank”), there are so many different ways to transform a patch into a paradise. Here are [25 small garden design ideas](https://www.homestolove.com.au/25-small-garden-design-ideas-6659|target=”_blank”) to get you started.

**SUCCULENT GARDEN**
[Succulents are popular](https://www.homestolove.com.au/types-of-succulents-13684|target=”_blank”) indoor plants because they’re [basically indestructible](https://www.homestolove.com.au/low-maintenance-indoor-plants-2878|target=”_blank”), but did you know they’re a fantastic low-maintenance option for outdoors too? This [outdoor succulent and cacti garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/outdoor-succulent-garden-13998|target=”_blank”) in the Hunter Valley is a case in point.

TOPIARY GARDEN
Gardening is an extremely creative, yet practical past-time to take up. But if you really want to take things to the next level, you could try your hand at [topiary](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-create-a-topiary-ball-10182|target=”_blank”). Make like Edward Scissorhands and create living sculptures from perennial trees and hedging plants such as European box, holly or privet. But be warned, it takes practice and patience. In this [central Victorian topiary garden](https://www.homestolove.com.au/topiary-garden-in-central-victoria-13645|target=”_blank”) towering trees have been clipped into interesting geometrical shapes.

**TROPICAL GARDEN**
Experience those ‘away on vacation’ vibes every day by creating a [luxurious tropical escape](https://www.homestolove.com.au/tropical-garden-melbourne-7183|target=”_blank”) in your own backyard. A combination of [large leafy plants](https://www.homestolove.com.au/large-indoor-plants-6637|target=”_blank”) and sculptural lower level plantings like agave will have you nailing the look in no time!
*Photo: James Henry / bauersyndication.com.au*
**VEGETABLE GARDEN**
Vegetable gardens – also known as kitchen gardens, vegie patches or a productive garden – are all the rage right now. Not only are they fun for the whole family (get the kids involved!) they’ll also improve your cooking tenfold. From [salad greens](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-grow-salad-greens-7725|target=”_blank”), [Mediterranean herbs](https://www.homestolove.com.au/grow-your-own-mediterranean-herbs-3727|target=”_blank”) to [garlic](https://www.homestolove.com.au/how-to-grow-garlic-9468|target=”_blank”) the possibilities are endless.

**VERTICAL GARDEN**
When you’ve got nowhere to go but up, you’re in a good place! Vertical gardens are on trend right now because they allow you to cover unsightly walls *and* inject life into an otherwise boring and bland outdoor area. For a vertical garden that is low-maintenance and good looking, try [fast growing climbing plants](https://www.homestolove.com.au/fast-growing-climbing-plants-1584|target=”_blank”).

**WOODLAND GARDEN**
Woodland gardens take years to create from scratch, as the essential ingredient is a canopy of leaves provided by tall deciduous trees. In this [cool-climate garden in the Blue Mountains](https://www.homestolove.com.au/blue-mountains-cool-climate-garden-19174|target=”_blank”) exotic oaks have been underplanted with daffodils and lilacs which thrive in the dappled light. Legendary landscape designer [Edna Walling](https://www.homestolove.com.au/dreamy-edna-walling-garden-in-nsw-southern-tablelands-14040 |target=”_blank”) was one of the pioneers of this style in Australia.
