Fall is the perfect time to refresh your landscape for the next season. If you love a garden that feels timeless, tailored, and a little more formal, consider incorporating a few of these classic plants and furnishings.
The arrangement of your plantings matter as much, if not more, than the plants themselves. Formal gardens often rely on symmetry, pairs, rows, and repetition to create a sense of order. Plant in repeated masses and intentional groupings. Odd-numbered groups of 3, 5, or 7 are more pleasing to the eye.
