UNIT 1
Garden Styles
Environmental Gardening
Environmental gardening emerged. Some of the decade’s liveliest debates included native vs. the all-American lawn, and organics vs. pesticides. The term Xeriscaping was coined, referring to drought-tolerant landscapes that help conserve water. Recycling efforts materialized in fences, containers, paths, chairs, and sheds. Gardeners understood that a healthy garden was home to birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife – although we usually drew the line at deer.
Container gardening
Container gardening grew along with demand for new plants that thrive in pots. Manufacturers responded to the trend with self-watering systems, special potting soils, and plastic pots almost indistinguishable from the real thing .
Water gardens
Water gardens remained popular, although we now know excavating the backyard is not necessary. A simple fountain or container water feature will suffice.
Kitchen Garden
Kitchen garden enjoyed a resurgence, with striking designs and an emphasis on salad crops and heirloom tomatoes.(to be continued)

UNIT 2
Garden Styles
Cottage Garden
Cottage gardens reflected many of the content trends, including a preference for fragrance, a renewed enthusiasm for heirlooms (especially annual flowers and vegetables), and a desire for herbs in the landscape.

Sanctuary Gardens
Sanctuary gardens developed, mixing symbolism from different cultures (Tibetian prayer flags, Zen water features) to create a nurturing that revives both body and spirit.
Shade Gardening
Shade gardening grew as trees got larger and yard space got smaller. Several nurseries began specializing for shade.
Low-Maintenance Gardens
Low-maintenance gardens appealed to the time-crunched and those who desired more time to relax and enjoy their gardens. Gardeners looked for plants described as easy-care, long-blooming, drought-tolerant, and disease-resistant.
Personal-Style Gardening
Personal-style gardening captured a gardener’s imagination and sense of humor. More then a collection of flamingos (although there are making a comeback), personal style is about using a few old garden tools as an arbor or farm-machinery disks as stepping stones.
