Dutch Baroque Gardens at Het Loo Palace

The ‘Great Garden’ lies privately behind the Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The garden was designed by Claude Desgotz the protégé of Le Notre most famously noted for the gardens of Versailles. The Het Loo garden maintains the perfect symmetry, axial layout with radiating gravel walks, parterres with fountains, basins and statues that are a signature of Baroque style.

How you can duplicate the look in your garden:

Symmetrical gardens are usually considered formal gardens. This type of garden features symmetrical plantings placed uniformly throughout the garden. Formal planting patterns usually include an evergreen shrub or particularly stunning plant or tree placed as a focal point in the garden. You then build outward from this point, aligning plants equally on both sides. Moon Valley Nurseries have everything you need to duplicate a formal, symmetrical garden.

Crathes Castle Garden , Scotland

The garden of Crathes Castle is known for its clever use of color. It sits in front of a typically Scottish turreted and rough-hewn pink-granite castle dating from 1596. Its monstrous yew hedges were planted in 1702. A laurel acts as a central pivot where crossed by another path flanked by shrub and herbaceous borders. Borders around the garden are full of hot colors: lupins, irises and pyrethrums, provide frames for the outline of the castle.

How you can achieve the look

in your garden:

Concentrate on color! A Moon Valley Nursery designer will help you choose a natural border that will include shrubs that will burst with color throughout the year. Fall is a great time to pack your garden with fall flowers that will frame your castle with stunning color.

Gardens of Villandry

The unique "Renaissance" gardens of Villandry are among the most fascinating gardens of France and is best known as France's archetypal potager, a (kitchen garden). It has seemingly endless geometric patterns. The lowest tier is devoted to vegetable gardens and has 9 square sections divided into beds of various colored plants, surrounded by box hedges and hardy plants. The property as a whole gives the impression of a grandiose conception, full of harmony and majesty.
