Jennifer Aniston’s “resort-style” garden was years ahead of a modern landscaping trend – designers say the result is simple and serene.
Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air home is a design lover’s dream – with an exceptional mid-century style that feels carefully curated and timeless. So it’s no surprise that the outdoor space follows suit.
Designed by Marcello Villano, Jennifer’s garden is a flawless and tranquil space shaped by global influences. The landscaping is minimalist and emphasizes foliage over flowers, keeping the color palette muted and adding to the garden’s calming vibe.
“Marcello Villano’s approach to landscape design is truly inspiring. A common thread in his work is the brilliant use of plants as living sculptures,” says designer and garden expert Nathan Heinrich.
“His restrained use of planting results in gardens that are both modern and timeless. I’m always struck by how his signature style softens modern architectural lines. His gardens feel like luxury resorts.”
If you, like Jennifer, want to design your garden with serenity in mind, you likely want a space that feels therapeutic. Not everyone can have such impressive architecture, but we can all follow the same eco-conscious planting principles.
“By combining Mediterranean and Asian plant species in a way no one else has, Villano has created gardens that feel serene and effortless. It’s like stepping into an exotic White Lotus scene,” Nathan adds.
“Villano didn’t just use beautiful plants – he used species that require little water and are perfectly suited for dry climates. His sustainable approach was years ahead of today’s drought-tolerant garden trend.”
Plants adapted to long, dry summers and short, wet winters are referred to as “Mediterranean zone” plants, Nathan explains. These species, which thrive with minimal watering, are often native to California (and Southern Europe) – and Jennifer Aniston’s garden is a perfect source of inspiration.
If you live in a similar climate and want to choose the right plants, the California Water Service recommends agave, blue hibiscus, rockrose, Mexican lobelia, and California lilac, among other hardy options. Not in a similar climate? You can still draw inspiration from Jennifer Aniston’s minimalist resort-style aesthetic.
Keep plant selection consistent and limit color variation to create a zen-like space that feels like a high-end resort. Below, you’ll also find our favorite garden lighting and accessories inspired by her garden.
