Although I've understood the general idea of this style of planting for a while, I heard the term chaos gardening today for the first time. It means planting a bunch of stuff in no particular design plan. Something that looks natural and where the soil is covered with plant material.
Thick coverage. A natural lushness. Something that re-seeds itself. Love it.
This Better Homes & Gardens post offers a good summary.
We have a small wildflower garden in our backyard but I'm thinking about expanding the idea to be a mini chaos garden. Seems like it would be lovely and sure would be simple. I'll let you know how it goes.
I like the idea of chaos being simple.
