Keep formal gardens simple (see Figure 2-1). Aim for balance and symmetry so the garden has an air of calm elegance. Here are some tips:

 Use strong lines and boundaries, such as groomed hedges, walkways, perhaps even a reflecting pool.

 Employ single-color plantings, aiming to match or complement your house color, fence, or another element.

 Add stylish pots, urns, gazing balls, or statuary. Keep everything in moderation so it doesn’t look cluttered.
