John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy's pared-back privacy planting embodies old money style – it's the simplest (but most impactful) I've ever seen

Though there is allure in a wild country garden, the simplicity of a pared-back white and green planting will never get old. It feels effortlessly timeless, and quietly luxurious.

If you need evidence, there is none better than the following image of Jackie Kennedy and John F. Kennedy walking across the lawn of his family's estate in 1953. Though the picture was taken almost 70 years ago, if it weren't in black and white, their minimalist garden looks like it could be from today. It embodies classic New England style and elegance.
