The perfect garden should feel cohesive with its surroundings. When it comes to design, your home and garden should flow seamlessly from one to the other, transporting you into a green oasis that makes you want to stay there forever. Climbing ivy is one of the ways to accomplish this lofty goal, and Reese Witherspoon's garden is one of the best examples we've seen.
We caught a glimpse of the actress's garden in a recent Instagram video, and we haven't stopped thinking about the climbing plants on the exterior of her home . Witherspoon's planting technique features four different segments of bright green ivy growing up the house: one on the left side, one on either side of the front door, and one on the right side of her home. The splash of green is the perfect complement to the cream exterior of her home.
It's so striking with the home's turquoise shutter and black metalwork. Altogether, these colors combined with the ivy produce a gorgeous English garden look. This gardening style is popular for its traditional appearance with a slightly romantic, whimsical feel.
Traditional English-style gardens are biodiverse with an enchanting mix of frothy greenery and bold wildflowers. Climbing vines and winding paths are an essential part of the look.
