French Formal Texas Natives Lookbook - Rharian Fields

A design-forward planting guide for gardeners who crave structure, elegance, and ecological integrity.

Inspired by the timeless symmetry of French formal gardens and reimagined with native plants that thrive in Texas and the Southern U.S., this lookbook helps you create a landscape that’s both visually stunning and climate-conscious.

Inside you’ll find:

• A curated Texas Native Plant Palette, with 25 specially chosen native plants, organized by garden role (evergreen anchors, vertical accents, flowering forms, etc.)
• Design principles of French formal gardens—and how to adapt them to modern yards
• Garden pairing concepts, complete with bloom timing, maintenance notes, and styling tips*
• A glossary of terms, FAQs, and practical planning guidance for real-life gardeners
• Visual inspiration for building layered, symmetrical beds using low-water, pollinator-friendly plants

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing your yard, this guide gives you the tools, and the aesthetic vision, to bring classical design into your everyday landscape.
