Unlike most garden styles, plant life is not the center element of a contemporary landscape design. Some modern gardens limit plants and flowers to unique planters and pots, leaving most of the design to be filled with hardscape elements and accessories, while some are following a greener trend with lush green walls of evergreen shrubs and mass plantings.

 

Grass is an important part of most modern landscape designs. Ornamental varieties, like mondo grass, are favorites. Topiaries and shrubbery with clean lines and geometric shapes are also common. Plant life is often used to bring in new textures and new shapes within a contemporary garden. Bamboo, agave, a variety of palms, and other exotic plants are ideal. Limited space and small yards can appear full of life with mass planting techniques that layer a variety of flowers and shrubs into a small area.

Sometimes the owners of the garden landscape design are willing to make it more interesting or beautiful. This desire can be done completely without the imposition of global change. The plot can be turned into a garden paradise, using some techniques and elements of shape, actively used in landscape design. The principles of the art of gardening, the perception of space, ways of shaping and visual effects are the same for large and small parcels.

 

Tree Museum of Zurich Switzerland

The famed Swiss landscape architect Enzo Anea designed this stunning salute to the tree just outside of Lake Zurich. The Tree Museum of Switzerland is a serene retreat lined with lush green grass, punctuated with rising stone columns. The columns are a canvas upon which the shape of a collection of trees from around the world are showcased. In this 2.5 acre “museum”, 2,000 species of trees have been carefully curated and cultivated to honor one of nature’s most majestic works of art– the tree.
