Modern Gardens – The Innovations Within

Article by Goldman M Jennings

Modern gardens have a very fresh, calm look around them which soothe us at the end of a busy day. Their borders are comparable to those used in ordinary gardens; the garden design is based on geometry having many straight lines and angles rather than bends and curves. The style is accentuated with bold colors. The main aim is to retain the walls, porticos, outside furniture, and stone carvings.

The various colors in plants are not much used in these gardens. The plants are thought as an extended architecture for the house so elongated bushes, large collection of one plant, and artistic plants are considered for this type of garden.

All modern gardens follow a common set of rules. Like other elements of modern outdoor garden, they mainly have inorganic materials. The formation of the garden is a sign of deep study; plants represent the energetic life and mind. There is a clear inclination to use shed for containing plantation vegetation. This figuratively means that man has mastered his senses and has got victory over his mind and soul.

Modern gardeners nowadays experience dynamic environments with ever-changing challenges and constraints. Rooftop gardens, Japanese gardens, and pot gardening are examples of how modern gardeners have changed to these new conditions. In addition, people are working together to share the limited open greens that exists in cities to recreate the beauty and functionality of gardens.

Gardeners all over the developed and developing countries are re-inventing modern gardening techniques. There are “green topping” projects going on in Montreal and Chicago, innovative locality gardens in India, and city rainwater harvesting projects in Melbourne. Moreover, newer gardening methods like “square foot gardening” are categorically created to help gardeners with space constraints increase their productivity.

Essentially 4 forms can be used to describe the geometrical patterns of the modern outdoor garden:

First, linear structures are used many times to embellish exterior iron walls and brick fences.

Second, architecture around quadrilateral designs to construct artistic swimming pools.

Third, abstract triangular designs to soothe the eye and create a unique sensation.

Fourth, feministic and spiritualistic designs were shown by circular architecture around trees and fountains.

The main idea of landscape designing is to develop an outdoor exciting experience and we should specially notice any decoration made of flowers. In places where many people gather, modern garden ideas symbolize their very feelings and the activities they do there.

Answer by echinopsis .
The main search words for what you are looking for are “Gartenarchitektur” (garden architecture) and “Naturgarten” (natural gardens) – at least for Germany. While garden architects have a more artificial approach, there are many gardeners who collect and grow (almost) forgotten (fruit)trees, herbs, flowers and whatnot to not only make gardens look pretty, but also to make it a good habitat for birds, insects and small animals.

http://www.ahornblatt-garten.de/ – click on “Gartenbilder” in the top bar to view examples which can also be mailed as postcards.
This is their contact page with phone number and mail address: http://www.ahornblatt-garten.de/kontakt.shtml

http://www.eneagarden.ch/ – a Swiss site which can be viewed in English too

http://www.gaertner-von-eden.de/gve/

http://www.garten-groene.de/ – site of a gardener and author of books about gardens

http://www.ogg.de/ -> click on “A. Osterloh’s “Traumgärten” near the bottom, on the next page click on “fotos” in the top bar and start browsing…

General info: German sites are required by law to have their contact info displayed visibly somewhere on their web page. “Contact” is “Kontakt” in German, “Vorname” means “first name” and “Nachname” means “last name”. Feel free to send the site owners a mail, and don’t worry if you don’t speak German – most Germans learn English at school. Those folks may not speak as much English as I do, but I’m certain that they will appreciate a nice mail from a foreigner, especially when they hear what it is all about.

I’ll star your question to alert my network – I’m a German user, but I have Yahoo contacts all over the world from all walks of life. Maybe they have additional info…
