Decide if it’s right for you.<br />

The choice of whether to have a minimalist garden<br />

really does depend on personal style, as well as<br />

the architectural style of your home. The flow from<br />

inside to outside should feel seamless, so if you<br />

have a modern aesthetic, a minimalist garden can<br />

be a natural outdoor extension of your interior look.<br />

You also need to consider your actual lifestyle rather<br />

than your idealized version of it. If your life involves<br />

kids, dogs, or both, designing to accommodate<br />

things like storage, irrigation, a barbecue, a place<br />

to sit, and shade are important. It should be beautiful,<br />

of course, but it should also be inviting and<br />

comfortable.<br />

Plot out the space.<br />

Urban backyards are great canvases for minimalist<br />

gardens because they can become quiet and<br />

enclosed mini-natural escapes within the busy city<br />

context. Plus, I think it’s easier to create a minimalist<br />

garden in a small space. I like to borrow from the<br />

Japanese tradition of visualizing gardens as miniaturized<br />

nature, because they do it best: the balance<br />

they achieve by pairing plants in twos, threes, fives,<br />

and sevens; an understanding of scale; the use of<br />

stone, moss, and evergreens all can make a space<br />

feel timeless.<br />
