The Modern Garden

The Modern Style Gardens of today are exciting they give innovative new designs and feel to gardens using an array of bold and colourful plants with many different forms, shapes and sizes. Some of the key elements in the Modern Style Gardens today are the use of large pots and planters in bold exciting colours, water features, sculptures, decking, screens, garden ornaments and many different types mulches and don't forget the garden lighting available today is just endless. There are many Nurseries around today that cater for the modern gardener, it is just a matter of finding one that is close by to you and let your imagination be your guide. A nursery that I like to visit in Melbourne is Banksia Nursery in Burwood Hwy, Wantirna South. They have a wonderful range of plants, a large range of seeds including some native seed, many colourful pots, iron garden seats, iron bikes, status and I do love their metal wall-art some of this is just stunning.



Some gardeners look to the old world for ideas and inspiration, while others are inspired by the new modern look with bright and bold colours in both plants and decor. No matter what inspires you to garden, the important thing is to enjoy what you are doing and if you are satisfied with the end result of your labour, then it's a job well done.
