    An informal garden has an irregular shape that mimics nature, with soft, flowing lines and gentle contours. Plants are closer together and intermingle randomly. It requires more maintenance but offers a relaxed environment. In contrast, a formal garden has visible symmetry and geometric shapes, with bold lines that mimic architecture. It requires less effort initially but any lack of upkeep is quickly noticeable. Most real-world gardens include elements of both formal and informal design.

    GARDEN:

    A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and
    enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural
    and man-made materials.

    Gardens may exhibit structural enhancements, sometimes called follies, including water
    features such as fountains, ponds (with or without fish), waterfalls or creeks, dry creek
    beds, statuary, arbors, trellises and more.

    TYPES OF GARDEN:

    INFORMAL GARDENS:

    Informal gardens tend to have a relaxing shape and form, closer planting and more
    utilitarian use than their formal counterpart. They are a lot easy to maintain.

    Informal Garden Styles are an attempt to mimic nature.

    There is an irregularity and softness in informal garden lines, even though these lines are
    man-made. Informal Gardens success depends on strong design and the firm hand of
    the gardener to retain a degree of order among what might otherwise become chaos.

    Informal Gardens offer a relaxed ambience that provides a temporary sanctuary from
    day-to-day stresses.

    Instead of the hard-lined formal garden, the informal garden is structured with flowing
    lines and gentle contours. Hard surfaces are softened by plants spreading over the
    edges and plants intermingle in what appears to be a random order.

    Advantages:

     grass does not have to be mown regulary :),


     more freedom in plant selection.

    Disadvantages:

     more work required for maintenance,


     deeper horticultural knowledge required,
     requires more time for getting optimal result.

    Example: English garden


    INFORMAL GARDEN
    FORMAL GARDENS:

    Characterized by visible symmetry and presence of geometrical forms: cubes, spheres


    and ellipses.

    Formal Gardens are an attempt to mimic the strong architectural lines of a building. It
    shows bold intervention of man on to nature.

    Advantages:

     requires less effort,


     less horticultural knowledge required,
     effects are visible sooner.

    Disadvantages:

     lack of maintenance gets quicly noticeable (e.g. unmown grass),


     less choice in plant selection.

    Example: Baroque Garden

    In the baroque garden, symmetry plays a primary role. Space is perfectly organized.
    French gardens have many specific components: trimmed trees, bushes, hedges, mazes,
    sculptures, fountains, benches.
    FORMAL GARDENS
    FREE FORM/COMPLEX GARDEN:

    It is rare to deal with gardens of ideal square or rectangular shape where you can
    achieve a perfect symmetry. The most style of gardens tend to include both free and
    geometrical features.

    The part of the garden spaces which is functional can have geometrical shape/form or
    features with its layout being formal and relatively regular while the nonfunctional
    garden spaces or private spaces can have an informal layout to design.

    Advantages:

     You can take advantage of both free and complex compositions.

    Disadvantages:

     more freedom of choice results in more risk of making a mistake.

    EXAMPLE: Rustic Garden (Rural).

    The most common family gardens tend to include both free and geometrical features:
    front part of the garden has got a typically representative function; thus, its layout is
    formal and relatively regular; while the backyard has more private, intimate nature and
    often loose layout.
