wild garden
Unmanicured plant space
A wild garden is a cultivated space designed to mimic natural landscapes, featuring native plants, informal arrangements, and minimal intervention.
Unlike formal gardens with manicured beds, wild gardens embrace controlled disorder—meadow flowers, overgrown paths, self-seeding plants: She let the back acre go wild garden.
The approach prioritizes ecological benefit and low maintenance over tidy aesthetics.
