GARDEN STYLE COUNSEL by Fofi Gourlas



The latest trend in gardens is Nouveau Formal. See how to get the look!

This is a highly stylised design, balanced symmetry and endless appeal.  Consider including clipped topiaries, paved terraces and the odd statue or water fountain.  The perfect proportions of this style garden never go out of fashion.  Symmetry is the main factor of this style with lots of mass plantings and not a large variety of plants.  This is a look emphasised by using plants with small leaves that look great when clipped into topiary shapes or hedged.  These include star jasmine climbing the walls, fast growing deep green leaved murrayas and gardenias.  These are wonderful selections for their scent but also for their white colour to provide a contrast to the greenery.

  1. Gardenias are so beautiful with glossy leaves and highly scented flowers - we have done a border around our courtyard and it looks great - very formal. The glossy leaves are beautiful on a sunny day.
