Results
Add up your number of A, B, C, and D answers. Here’s what they say about you:
If you chose mostly A’s, your landscape style is English Garden — You see yourself sipping Earl Grey among trellised vines, perfectly trimmed shrubs, roses galore, and overflowing beds of delphiniums, lavender, and foxglove. And if Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy wander in, well … so much the better.
If you chose mostly B’s, your landscape style is Japanese Garden — Peace. Tranquility. Harmony. Your landscape promotes serene contemplation with natural elements like stone paths, rock gardens, koi ponds, and bamboo accents. Your yard is your oasis, where you recharge from the bustle of the world.
If you chose mostly C’s, your landscape style is Woodland Landscape — To the untrained eye, your landscape evolved from nature, with no human help. With shady trees, lush groundcover, and maybe a stone birdbath or bench, your yard looks like a place where fairies or Hobbits could appear at any moment. (And you would welcome the visit!)
If you chose mostly D’s, your landscape style is Xeriscape — When you spend time in your yard, you want to be relaxing, not weeding, watering, and planting. You favor environmentally friendly landscaping with native plants that are drought- and pest-resistant. Your prized possession is your hammock, where you enjoy all the time you’re not spending on your yard.
