20 Gardens That Make You Feel Like You're In a Nancy Meyers Movie

Nothing says Something's Gotta Give quite like a shingled house surrounded by bright blue hydrangeas and trellises with vining roses. Although the curving brick pathway is trimmed to perfection by low-cut hedges, the overall vibe of this outdoor space is lush and wild yet well cared for.

Although many of her protagonists find themselves fighting fate, the same cannot be said for Nancy's sets. The curb appeal is always next to none, with the landscaping blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings while still having an impact. We can't help but think that this stair-stepped garden is the space Miles and Iris would create together in The Holiday.

We're not sure about you, but we think this garden should be the inspiration for Nancy's next film set. The expansive, yet somehow cottage-like home is gorgeous, and the surrounding gardens ... we're speechless.

This garden is the definition of luxury. From the checkerboard patio of stone pavers and velvety grass to the grand staircase surrounded by roses and overgrown bushes, there's no denying that is the perfect setting for a whirlwind romance.

While some spaces might be more demure, this garden is practically screaming, "Put me in a movie!" From the gravel pathway (you can hear the crunching footsteps through the screen, right?) to the intentional yet whimsical layout and various plant choices, this cottage-style landscape gives major Nancy Meyers vibes.

Picture this. It's a breezy evening, you're enjoying dinner in your garden, channeling your inner Diane Keaton, smelling the fragrant flowers while surrounded by lush greenery. Could life get any better? We think not.

If Nancy Meyers were a flower, she'd be a hydrangea. The timeless flowers are classy and neutral, yet vibrant, eye-catching and instantly recognizable. Their effortless air makes it the perfect plant for any garden. All that to say, this quaint setup makes us feel the way Nancy's films do: cozy and content.

The organic hues and perfectly imperfect collections of potted flowers and garden accouterments becon fans into Nancy's sets. And this garden setup has us ready to play a hobby gardener, living our best life, tending to the most gorgeous Hydrangeas this quaint-but-not-too-small town has ever seen.

Although it's never shown in The Holiday, we're convinced this is Graham's garden. The rose-lined pathway is the perfect place for his daughters to frolic, while the kind-of-trained, kind-of-wild foliage is a subtle nod to his reserved-yet-silly personality (we see you, Mr. Napkin Head).

While most of Nancy's films are set on the East Coast, this California landscape instantly caught our eye. The bountiful flowering shrubs interlaced with tropical plantings create an eye-catching outdoor space that would be the perfect backdrop to a West Coast romcom.

If we've said it once, we've said it a million times. All of Meyers' sets have one thing in common: curated collections. Stacks of books, layers of textures, unique trinkets, and more work together to give them a lived-in-yet-luxurious feel. That's what this garden looks like — a collection of blooms, bushes and groundcovers that come together seamlessly, resulting in a whimsical garden we'd love to walk through.

Because what's more Nancy Meyers than a Cape Cod-style home surrounded by lush landscaping and a circular gravel driveway? And we hadn't even mentioned the brick walkway lined with tastefully overgrown hydrangea bushes. If this were the setting of a Nancy Meyers film, it would be an instant classic — just like The Father of the Bride house (if you know, you know).

A grand estate covered with ivy, including a stately staircase that leads to a leafy garden? We've been transported to Nancy Meyers land. The mature trees provide ample shade to the conversation nooks in this backyard, and the fountain near the pool adds just the right amount of luxury.

This quaint garden featuring a flagstone patio tucked between tufts of ground cover looks straight out of a movie, and we're dying to recreate this look in our backyard. The blooming perennials and manicured bushes perfectly complement the dark-shingle home. It's a look that's synonymous with Nancy Meyers' style.

While you may not find this kind of outdoor space in downtown London, we're convinced that if you could, this would be the garden tucked behind Elizabeth and Annie James' downtown home in The Parent Trap. The meticulously trimmed hedges and the tastefully placed statues create a curated outdoor space that looks like a hidden retreat. Now, we'd still have a hard time choosing London over the expansive Napa Valley ranch, but this certainly gives it a run for its money.

We know, we know. Nick Parker's aesthetic leans more rustic than this, but we can't help but think of The Parent Trap when looking at this outdoor setup. The contemporary layout is modern, yet it provides space for the more natural elements to shine, creating the perfect blend. The no-fuss pool and low-profile lounge chairs look luxurious, while the warm landscape lighting makes us feel the way Nancy's best films do — relaxed and at home.

Surrounded by towering cypress trees, fluffy hydrangeas and all sorts of native plants, there's no denying that this stunning backyard was made for the big screen. The combination of limestone and grass makes for a striking set of stairs up to the perfectly-styled sitting area. We think Nancy would approve.

If you want your garden to look like it belongs in a Nancy Meyers film, start by recreating this cozy patio. From the terraced flower beds to the koi pond (that little slate bridge is so idyllic!), every corner of this outdoor space feels cozy and intimate.

File under: A garden Nancy would approve of. From the stair-stepped brick patio to the curated sections of blooms, this entire outdoor space feels enchanting. The landscaping is overflowing in every corner, giving the illusion of abundance and luxury.
