Garden Styles to Inspire Your Space

Inspirational garden styles to get you started

REQUEST A CONSULTATION

At Boma, we don’t design from rigid templates. These styles are creative starting points — frameworks that help us explore what will work best for your space, your lifestyle and your taste. Many of our projects blend elements from more than one style to create something entirely personal.

Some garden styles to get you started

These styles exist to spark ideas to begin a meaningful conversation. Whether you prefer structure or softness, calm restraint or seasonal colour, we interpret your preferences into a cohesive planting plan tailored to London conditions.

Cottage Garden
 
Cottage Garden
Romantic and abundant, with roses, clematis, salvia and nepeta weaving through soft-edged, layered planting.
Tropical Garden
 
Tropical Garden
Bold and dramatic, with palms, tree ferns, banana and canna creating lush, architectural foliage impact.
Japanese Garden
 
Japanese Garden
Restrained and intentional, with Japanese maple, pine, ornamental cherry and flowing grasses shaping form, texture and calm.
Mediterranean Garden
 
Mediterranean Garden
Sun-loving and aromatic, with lavender, rosemary, olive and euphorbia in a drought-tolerant, silver-toned planting.
Woodland Walk
 
Woodland Walk
Calm and layered, with birch, acer and sorbus sheltering ferns, hellebores and hosta in a textured, shade-loving planting.
Architectural Garden
 
Architectural Garden
Geometric and considered, with clipped box, yew and pleached hornbeam anchoring phormium, agapanthus and feather reed grass.
Contemporary Urban Garden
 
Contemporary Urban Garden
Relaxed and contemporary, with hydrangea, miscanthus and verbena bringing movement and texture to clean-lined raised bed planting.
Naturalistic & Wildlife Garden
 
Naturalistic & Wildlife Garden
Soft and naturalistic, with echinacea, rudbeckia, salvia and grasses drifting through a wildlife-rich, pollinator-friendly planting.
