Ever since we got these pro landscaping tips on how to design a gorgeous outdoor space, I’ve been thinking about planting a garden. The bad news is that I live on the third floor of a loft space so I’m stuck in daydream mode. For now, my plans are relegated to constantly looking up Pinterest garden ideas. Of course, inspiration abounds.

Luckily for me, I have several friends with big backyard spaces—and I’m hoping they’ll let me live vicariously through their landscaping endeavors. Maybe even help out with some planting? We’ll see. To get my creative juices flowing, I spent a few hours scrolling and looking up Pinterest garden ideas. Needless to say, my inspiration files are full. I now have pages and pages of garden décor and design saturating my screen—and I’m not mad about it. And while it was hard to choose, these 13 gardens came out on top.
