Garden Design Styles?

Post by wishiwere »

Does anyone have a site that shows examples of designs for gardens. Such as the English Garden, Cottage/country, Formal and etc? I've been trying to explain the differences to someone, and thought pictures would explain it best?

I thought I had a site once that showed different styles, but can't locate it now. Any help would be appreciated!

Small pics, but pretty good explanations with each style.

Why not use Google- type English garden and then pics :wink:

Thanks Ladies! I'll try both tomorrow. For some reason, my puter is not showing sites well! Man, I hope it's just a snag and not signs of problems! :eek:
