What are some examples of popular garden themes?
There are thousands of garden theme possibilities, really as many themes as there are personalities. Indeed, the theme you choose should be specific to your personality. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t receive inspiration from themes and designs you’ve seen and admired in the past. Some gardeners will try to stay consistent with the principles of a garden theme with a lot of tradition, such as Japanese gardens. Others like to outfit their garden with something like a rustic or barnyard theme. Something like this can be created by using country plants such as sunflowers and hollyhocks. You also might incorporate rustic items such as troughs, benches, and old farm tools into the landscape of the garden. There are no absolute rules with garden themes—remember, it is your garden, and therefore it is your opinion that counts the most. However, know that you have many thematic options available from which you can draw inspiration.
