8. Order versus disorder
“You don’t have to stick with one style in your garden,” says Robert. “Sometimes two disparate looks complement each other.” A case in point is this skillful planting that transitions from monochrome to multicolour, and from naturalized to orderly.

Consider playing with white in your own yard to frame bold blocks of colour.
