5 different garden types presented
1. The Natural Garden:
In the natural garden, the focus is clearly on the natural growth of the plants and a colorful variety of flowers. It is the flower meadow that delights those who look at it, the orchard, the rock garden or the cottage garden, from which herbs, vegetables and salads can always be freshly harvested during the season. In addition, a natural garden also offers enough space for a harmonious coexistence of people with the local animal world such as bees, butterflies, birds and the like.

In the natural garden, you should only use typical regional plants (perennials, shrubs, fruit, vegetables and lettuce). It is also advisable to set up wooden seating groups that reflect the nature of the garden particularly well.

You can combine your natural garden very well with all kinds of cozy accents such as a garden pavilion, a shady vine arbor, or a garden pond.
2. The Styling Garden:
A so-called styling garden impresses with its already architecturally planned line and numerous design elements. Striking accents are important within such a garden area, which you can use in the form oflighting fixtures, sculptures, fountains, pool areas and more.
Furthermore, a styling garden often impresses with particularly exotic plants, which are arranged according to color and growth height. It is not uncommon for such gardens to only contain single-colored blooming flowers, in combination with evergreen shrubs such as cherry laurels, cypresses, etc. and an English ornamental lawn.

Modern elegance and grace are the attributes of a styling garden. To go with this, we recommend a seating set made of easy-to-care-for plastic rattan furniture, which is now available in numerous colors and shapes in specialist furniture stores.
The styling garden can also be combined with a variety of practical details. For example, with a conservatory that can be opened wide, a chic garden pavilion, wooden decking boards that are easy to walk on and much more.
3. The cozy garden area:
Anyone who places particular value on pure comfort in their own garden should move a little in the direction of a natural garden. But a cozy garden can also be a bit well-groomed. Such cozy gardens are particularly popular with families, especially since the children can play extensively on the spacious lawns, equipped with lots of play equipment. Vegetable beds, fruit bushes and trees, as well as various salad plants can also provide he althy nutrition from your own garden.

Garden cosiness is also expressed by setting up a garden shed, a greenhouse, setting up a fireplace and a barbecue area as well as comfortable patio seating. What is also important within such a facility is the personal feel-good character, which you can achieve with different flower arrangements, as well as with lovingly designed seating areas, cozy corners and tree benches.
4. The practical garden:
The practical garden area, which is clearly preferred by working people in particular, stands for easy care with high utility value, which is why these gardens in particular are often equipped with extremely spacious lawns. In addition, all flower beds are usually lined with garden fleece, covered with humus and provided with shallow-rooted plants to minimize the annoying weeding.
Furthermore, when planting, you shouldalso pay attention to slow-growing hedge plants, flowering shrubs and smaller flower beds. You can also plant berry bushes, which will also provide fresh fruit from your own garden.
» Our tip:
You should combine the practical garden with objects that require little maintenance, such as plastic seating groups and raised beds. The same applies to design elements that could, for example, consist of polished stone balls or outdoor fountains without an associated garden pond.
5. The theme garden:
Garden aesthetes usually set up a themed garden. Often in the form of a Zen garden, a South Tyrolean cottage garden, a cottage garden or a pure play garden. But it can also be individual plants with which a theme garden is particularly preferred, such as a rose garden, a palm or cactus garden.
It doesn't matter which style the themed garden is designed in: it only allows for a few possible combinations. Seating groups, lighting fixtures, design elements, etc. always have to adapt to the respective themes.
» Our tip:
A theme garden usually only matures over the years and continuously expands its spectrum. Numerous specialist exhibitions can always help you to find rarities for your personal garden.
