I like both and in our designs we at GreenlinesDesign Ltd actually use both styles. The contemporary landscaping model for the structure and then the wild prairie style planting to soften the hardscaping which works wonderful.

Totally agree.

I really like the style of both gardens, though if pushed I would definitely go for Prairie style!

I like both but voted for number 1 as it is the more achievable and realistic garden style for the UK. In an ideal world I would have both!

Yes, of course it all depends on the garden's location and its size. I am working on a design for a large garden in the country which incorporates both. I will upload photos of it when finished.

Both are great and as The Cheshire Garden said it depends on location and size, but forgetting those two I go for the first one. It's just a perfect place to relax for me, seems secluded and quiet, ideal garden.

We have a selection of designer items perfect for your garden, from bird feeders to stainless steel torches! View them here: https://www.homebits.co.uk/garden-c102x3303816

Both are stunning.

Definitely number 1
