Modern gardens are slowly forming into two separate trends: one of them tries to imitate nature, the other refers to modernist minimalism.
A minimalist garden treats both animated and inanimate objects as an architectural form.
The porosity of the concrete surface is as important as the shiny surface of the leaves.
This garden does not change intensively during the changes of seasons. It is static and harmonious. When everything is rushing at a crazy pace, time seems to have stopped here.
