The second garden theme that interests me is the Minimalist style. In my opinion it is one of the most difficult garden design styles to execute well, because the elements are so limited that there is no where to hide. I think it would be good though, to practice really limiting my materials and plant options to see what the outcome is.
I also think that this design style will work well with the restricted 5mx7m size of plot that we have for this project - as often urban, roof top and courtyard gardens opt for a minimalist design approach
