White Minimalist Garden Design

Limit Your Plant Palette

Minimalist design is all about restraint, avoid opting for too many plant species. Limit the number of plants specified in the design and use these repeatedly throughout the garden. Add texture by use hardy weather-resistant and evergreen plantings such as bamboo, succulents, grasses, and boxwood in an asymmetrical composition. When possible, incorporate synthetic lawn in the edging because it is always green and a sustainable material that virtually needs no upkeep. This type of garden is an excellent choice for a person who works long hours and/or travels frequently and prefers a clean, smart, and low maintenance garden.

Elegance & Purity

Creating a white garden design in the landscape denotes elegance and purity. White is classic color and makes a radiant addition to your garden. Perhaps the most magical reason to grow a white garden is the color’s ability to keep shining long after the sun sets. White planters with green or variegated green/white plants will remain more visible at night!
 

Create Boundaries & Symmetry

Borrow from the Japanese tradition of visualizing gardens as miniaturized nature by pairing plants in twos, threes, fives, and sevens, use stone, moss, and evergreens to give the space a timeless feel. Used polished concrete or limestone for the patio, ceramic or steel for the planters, artificial turf, and gravel.
