Gone are the days when men used to smoke branded pipes, sifting through the pages of newspapers and sipping endless cups of early morning tea on their comfy garden chairs. Those were the times of sprawling white mansions and meandering lush gardens. Urbanisation has not only revolutionised societies, but also disrupteed the concept of cities, transforming them into a cascading stupor of concrete jungles.

Owing to the paucity of space, gardens have been relegated to the realm of nostalgia and are no longer a part of most city skyscrapers. We, however, are delighted to bring you seven types of garden types best suited to your small city homes.

Stone Potted Garden

Do you feel bogged down by the sheer enormity of maintaining your much cherished garden? Thankfully, there is a perfectly feasible option for early starters. A few stones and handful of potted plants are all that you need to lend an endearing charm of your very own private rock garden.

Easily conversable, this garden can be leveraged for invigorating yoga sessions during mornings, or end up becoming your child's favourite study spot!

Bright with Light

Nights are most beautiful when spent under the nurturing presence of bright, twinkling stars. With a cornucopia of stars melting into the city night sky, light up your own by designing an illuminated garden for yourself. Almost as close to nature as nature itself, this deftly crafted garden is sure to light up your heart in ways you could never have imagined.

Simply Elegant

Simplicity is both ageless and timeless, oftentimes encapsulating the essence of eternity. Gardens with flat patches and trim cut grass not only look spacious, but also typify elegance. They are also very easy to establish and maintain. A sea of green is as soothing for your soul as it is for your eyes. Soak in the succor-inducing charm of untainted greenery that nourishes your mental and physical health.

Cutting a side space to make a sitting area adds to its beauty.

Garden Cabin

What could be better than a private, cosy place to sit, read and contemplate? A little cabin made up of elegant wood and spacious furniture provides you with a multipurpose utility space that allows you to accomplish more by using less. Imagine hosting a little tea party in your wood cabin with a view of lush greenery and colourful buds, or holding a sombre private meeting in the middle of the resplendent garden?

This takes nothing more than a little space and can be designed in accordance to the available space. Decorated with your kids’ handmade paintings, let this be your solace in this chaotic world.

Straight and Simple

Geometric shapes are linear in structure but abstract in nature. With a set of few geometrical lines, an easy to maintain and elegant to look garden can be formed in open spaces. With no tall trees and side bushes, it is a perfect place to spend a happy time picnicking with your family and watch your child grow into a happy adult.
