In modern minimal gardens, compelling spaces are created through the repetition of large, bold, and geometric shapes, arranged asymmetrically. There is a focus on subtle contrasts, using minimal colours and textures.

The secret to a modern minimal garden is simplicity. Each vista should incorporate a maximum of five plant types, and even just two can effectively achieve a captivating look. The ultimate goal is to evoke a fascinating sense of order while demonstrating the beauty and purity of absolute simplicity.

Below are our picks for plants that work very well in modern minimal gardens. However your creativity is the limit, and following the basic principles of simplicity and repetition, many other plants can be used in this style.
