Every gardener has a style, just like everyone has a favorite color – or a strong opinion about the best season of Bridgerton. Some of us crave wild, pollinator-filled chaos, while others feel soothed by symmetry, clipped edges, and color palettes that never stray off-brief. And then there are those gardeners who just want something pretty that won’t judge them if life gets busy.

Understanding your natural flower garden personality, then, can make planting easier, more joyful, and far more successful. Because, when your garden reflects how you think and live, it tends to thrive with less effort. Better still, it feels more satisfying every time you step outside, too.

This quiz is designed to help you pinpoint the flower garden style that suits you best, based on how you plan, plant, and daydream about your outdoor space. Are you a cottage garden romantic, then? A color-loving maximalist? Or something else entirely?

There are no right or wrong answers here; just different ways of growing beauty. Grab a coffee, then, answer honestly, and see which style fits you like a well-worn pair of gardening gloves.

So, how did you get on? If you whizzed through this (and loved it), then you might like to find out your houseplant soulmate test or figure out which flower seed is right for you this spring – and have a bash at our extra special hydrangea personality quiz, too. There's even a quiz to help you determine which vegetable you should grow in your garden this year.

Have fun, and be sure to look out for more quizzes and puzzles coming very soon...

She previously served as digital editor at Stylist magazine, and has written extensively for Ideal Home, Woman & Home, Homes & Gardens, and a handful of other titles. Kayleigh is passionate about wildlife-friendly gardening, and recently cancelled her weekend plans to build a mini pond when her toddler found a frog living in their water barrel. As such, her garden – designed around the stunning magnolia tree at its centre – is filled to the brim with pollinator-friendly blooms, homemade bird feeders, and old logs for insects to nest in.
