View 1: Romantic gardens evolved about 300 years ago mostly as a resonse to the crowding, noise and filth of the industrial revolution. They aim to create a fantasy tohelp block out the harshness of the world around us. They always include a sense of enclosure and fragrant flowers. They appear haphazared and exhuberant and are a low maintenance place to relax and dream.

We chose white for our color scheme. White gardens are sometimes referred to as moon gardens since their wonderful whites and silvers glow in the moonlight.
