Victorian Landscaping Ideas

Victorian landscaping draw on the era's love of decoration — cast and wrought iron, gingerbread trim, patterned tile and brick, conservatories, gazebos and glasshouses — set in gardens of roses, ferns, hydrangeas and clipped evergreens. The palette is deeper and richer than most modern schemes.

About this collection

Victorian Landscaping Ideas, explained.

Notice how the strongest landscaping designs pick two or three ornamental moves and keep the rest calm. Save the ones whose ironwork, tile and planting match the age and colour of your house.

Victorian design is layered and ornamental. Look for wrought and cast iron in railings, gates and gazebos, patterned brick and encaustic tile, urns and fountains as focal points, and rich planting of roses, ferns, hydrangeas, hostas and clipped evergreens. Porches with gingerbread trim and painted colour schemes set the palette; the best gardens choose two or three ornaments and let the planting carry the rest.
