Contemporary Home Inspiration Garden
This contemporary design by landscape architect Tait Moring frames masses of native plants with steel edging and fencing and features a limestone bench and pavers. Compared to a naturalistic style, this garden incorporates some more symmetry. Such gardens are popular in residential landscapes, providing a balance between control and informality.Printer Friendly: Species List | List with Images | List with QR Tags to Mobile
