Before planning your garden you must decide which style it'll have, and what sort of plants you'll have in it. You should have a look at all of the different styles that are available before deciding what you want, as there's plenty of choice. In the following article you will read about popular types of gardens that may be of interest to you for your own gardening project.

Traditional Japanese style gardens are very prevailing in the world of gardening because of their simplistic yet appealing nature. Like Japanese art, this kind of garden always uses the natural environment as the basis. So if you're building a Japanese garden, you would incorporate whatever natural elements you might have on your property, such as trees, a stream or rocks. The other things Japanese gardens tend to have are large empty spaces. Japanese gardens are mainly populated by shrubs and evergreen trees, such as pines, bamboo, Japanese maples and azaleas. Because these gardens are supposed to be very minimalistic they, don't usually have many species of plants, unlike some other gardens.

A warm atmosphere and a good amount of water is required for tropical plants. Living in a colder climate means you should bring your tropical plants inside during the winter months. Your tropical garden will not only look jaw dropping, it will also entice various butterflies and birds to it. Another fantastic type of garden to grow which will amaze your friends and family is a butterfly garden. Butterflies of all types will be attracted to your garden by virtue of what you plant within it. The key ingredient to having a successful butterfly garden is growing plants with nectar that will attract them on a daily basis. If you were able to plant in an area that is not very windy, and has direct access to sunlight for long periods of time, this is a ideal place to grow such a garden. This will definitely help you create a multi-colored garden because you will need to have a variety of flowers that are fragrant as well. Not only will you have a very colorful garden, but it will have butterflies visiting on a daily basis which is a sight to behold.

A less formal variation of the traditional European garden is the cottage garden. Edible herbs and vegetables tend to feature in cottages gardens, and they are usually practical and more casual. English peasants used to count on their gardens for a lot of their food supply, and cottage gardens are modeled on these types of gardens. This is why they tend to have edible things in them, as well as pretty flowers. To keep within the informal boundaries of a cottage garden you have a big margin when it comes to the size and structure of the garden.

To summarize, the kind of garden you create depends on what you want it for. Is it just for the appearance, or would you like to produce herbs and vegetables? For inspiration on what kind of garden to get, you should look in books or on websites that have pictures of gardens. Remember, you don't have to follow an exact model of a garden, you can adjust it however you like.
