In simple terms -

"Dutch" is broadly based on the European flower bed concept i.e. lots of colours and textures all neatly arranged.

"Nature" was pioneered by Takashi Amano and is based upon scenes from nature replicated in an aquarium.

Here's an example of each, plucked at random from Google. I've tried to show two typical examples.

Dutch


Nature
