There are so many, in fact, that it may seem overwhelming and daunting for you to try and figure out the type of garden that you are interested in planting. First and foremost, there are two basic main types of gardens that you can plant, and these are flower gardens and vegetable gardens, or form gardens and functional gardens as it were. These are both pretty self explanatory when you think about it. From here on, however, it gets a little trickier because there are a number of different types of gardens that you can create once you know if you want to have a vegetable garden or a flower garden.

Here is an overview of some of the more popular types of garden landscapes that you can make use of. Keep in mind that the only true limit behind your capabilities when it comes to creating a garden is your own imagination.

Garden Landscape #1 – The English Country Garden Landscape

The English country garden landscape concept is very popular, especially among people from European descent that are fans of the country sides of England. English county style garden landscapes are generally made up of unique flowers and plants that are found in the countryside of England. The types of plants and flowers and the varieties that you choose are going to vary depending on what part of the English countryside that you are actually attempting to recreate. English country style gardens generally incorporate in rustic wood, wildflowers and stone benches, as well as water in the form of a gazing pool or a pond for the best authenticity.

Garden Landscape #2 – The Victorian Garden Landscape

Victorian style garden landscapes are another popular type of garden landscape, especially among older aged gardeners. These Victorian garden spaces can incorporate a wide variety of different flowers and plants, but they will generally also incorporate stone statues like gargoyles and cherubs, Victorian style roses and bejeweled and finely colored fairy balls or gazing balls, footpaths and stone benches as well.

Garden Landscape #3 – The Japanese Garden Landscape

The Japanese garden landscape is a concept that is becoming increasingly popular, though it is important to note that they can be difficult to reproduce if you do not have plenty of land to work with. Traditional Japanese gardens feature small structures in the heart of the garden that is a teahouse or a home, and this looks out over the entire garden. Japanese style garden landscapes incorporate traditional elemental style design featuring rocks, water, lanterns and stepping stones or bridges as well.

Garden Landscape #4 – The French Garden Landscape

The French garden is an ever-formal garden, and it is typically one that would be found around a large home, a hotel, a fancy theater or some other popular attraction.
