The garden landscaping is just one of the greatest contributions of the English. Their love for well-maintained homes on a backdrop of greens and colours has catapulted them as cinema-worthy. Fortunately, there are ways to conjure garden designs that is just worth a Monet landscape. With the help of garden designers, landscape artists and professionals, there is nothing impossible in that art-like backdrop.These experts have had good trainings and experiences in sculpting any empty terrain into an attractive lawn view and are helpful in making the view stay that way. The artsy English garden needs two things – flowers and decors. Here are some ideas for the perfect impressionistic garden design.

Flower Gardens The classic cottage gardens are probably the most mesmerizing and comforting among English garden designs. The English flowerbeds abound with something like yellow rattle, the good old rose, marigold, posies, larkspur, bellflower, columbine and coral-bells. The flowers that could complete the landscape include dame’s rocket, delphinium, dianthus, foxglove, hollyhock, hydrangea, iris, lavender, peony, geranium, phlox, sweet William, La Marque, Colthilde Soupert and violet. The play in colours,shapes and various heights will make the illusion of wild flower meadows, which are characteristically impressionistic.


Decors English lace and garden iron instantly make a classic garden look more ancient. Garden lace adds natural sweetness of any hanging plants and flowerbeds. The colours should match and blend with natural scenery being built up. Gardens with a relaxed structure are characteristically peasant English. This is achievable with varied flower heightsand a good spread of tall grasses. The beauty of a meadow garden is found in its untended appearance, it requires careful management just to keep it flourishing. Well-manicured gardens are a prize to behold. With a good grasp of garden designs, setup and maintenance, there is no doubt any garden will look like a Monet art.
