Prairie

Once the poor man's garden, this style is proving really popular at the moment. The key to success is to plant a wide variety of grasses and wildflowers so that the look is as natural as possible. Prairie gardens usually grow better on poor soil, so they're perfect for planting on steep banks and other difficult areas. Also great if you're gardening on a tight budget.
