We started with a suburban retirees garden. Not quite my thing, but it provided a solid base. Then stated tailoring it to our needs/tastes and decreasing the maintenance required.
Once our first came along I added (to varying success) more wild flowers and made it into a wilder, lower maintenance garden. But the fundamentals were there.
I'd also point out that you started with a garden that had let nature take its course 😉
^this is excellent advice.
