Tropical Gardens And Landscaping
What makes the landscaping and garden design in all these pictures tropical? Besides the influence of the homes themselves? The most dominant element is simply the type of landscaping and garden plants used to create the designs. There's no specific placement or grouping. It's just the type of plants themselves.
And while the landscaping, garden, and atmosphere may be of a tropical nature, none of the home styles is actually refered to as tropical. With Mediterranean, Spanish, Southwest, and others being the styles of homes, the landscaping could just as well be named Mediterranean Landscaping, Spanish gardens, or even Southwest landscaping and still be correct.
Whether tropical, Mediterranean, etc. home style and landscaping, the types of plants including the palm trees are universally associated with the tropics as a larger demographic of many different regions rather than individual specific regions. So all of these plans and design ideas will most generally be refered to as tropical landscaping or garden.
