Even in gardening, there are trends – here is an overview of current trends in gardening. The reason is simple: just as modern architecture reflects a way of life, the garden also shows the preferences and lifestyle of its owner. The garden is the first impression that guests and passersby see, so it deserves great attention.
Trends in horticulture – garden design leads the way
In May 2013, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show celebrated its 100th anniversary. On that occasion, the famous flower exhibition showed clear trends in horticulture. A clear division into different areas influenced modern garden design. The garden is seen as an integral part of the house, especially when a seamless connection between the wooden deck and the patio is desired. This transition can be created with grass and small rocks. Trees and evergreen shrubs are planted at the edge of the garden, while high walls are complemented by vines. Even the smallest areas are used: fountains and water walls are a must for small gardens. Those with a larger surface area can create a garden pond. The basic principle is to maintain clarity in the garden.
Trends in gardening – English gardening
The English garden has a certain charm that many generations have learned to appreciate. The trick lies in the mix of flowers and greenery. In recent years, the English style has also become popular for small urban gardens. Terraces on different levels, connected by stairs, allow a garden to be designed in this style. You can place green plants on the first level, more greenery on the second, and flowers on the third. Anyone who does not have enough space for a garden can use a wall and create a vertical garden. Trends in gardening are clear: the garden should first be a relaxation area, while still being easy to maintain.
