If you are looking to give your garden a makeover in the new year, chances are you will want to make sure you are ahead of the curve by being among the first to embrace the trends that look sure to hit both front and back gardens.
Grow up
Vertical gardening is likely to see a rise in popularity throughout 2023, in part due to houses being built within a tighter range of spaces than in recent years. With less green space, people will be planting up rather than out. In addition, with more flats and apartments than ever before some people have no green space at all meaning the only way is up.
More and more planters, shelves and trellis’ are on the market and these will add a splash of colour to any balcony or wall. For those that do have plenty of garden space, this style will be of benefit too. Arches will be adorned with a variety of shades whilst walls, sheds, and fences will help to show off the variety your garden offers.
Frugal innovative gardening
We see, almost daily, how much the cost of living is rising. As a result, many of us have had to take clever steps to make sure that we can make ends meet and still allow for a few little home improvements here and there. A garden isn’t just a five-minute project, it can be a labour of love and by embracing the need to shop wisely, it will provide you with a stunning garden for years to come.
Look for second-hand ornaments and tools, buy plants from seed, and discover upcycling hacks to cultivate furniture or household items for your gardening projects. Think old draws for planters, crates for veg patches, and old car tyres for chairs or tables. The possibilities are endless.
Climate changing cultivation
Climate change is likely to remain big news in 2023 and whatever your viewpoint on it is, chances are you will be doing your bit whether intentionally or not. Futureproofing against rising temperatures is one thing likely to see an increase. Whether it be implementing more gravel-based gardens or turning to xeriscape- the process that minimizes the amount of water used- people looking to stay on trend will find that helping the environment comes almost without realising it as they embrace styles and innovation.
As a result, drought-tolerant gardening will become big. Utilising things like Easigrass artificial lawns and changing the choice of plants and flowers used will reap its rewards. Swapping out fuchsia for phygelius for example will see your garden maintain its vibrancy but save on the need for water. Embracing a Mediterranean look is also likely to be popular for appearance as well as environmental benefits in 2023.
Marvellous magenta
For 2023, magenta is one of the colours of the year, so we expect to see it appear in more gardens than before. It works well in big bunches but just as well in small doses for a little pop of colour. Utilise it in your choices of decking, furniture, pots, and décor to create something both warm and cool in effect. You can do this with your plants too by aiming for Peony ‘Karl Rosenfield’, and Astilbe ‘Fanal’ among others.
Cottage gardening
This is a trend that never seems to go away but there are still many green-fingered people that haven’t yet tried it out. Creating flower planting schemes, selecting a wide variety of plants, and ensuring colour and curiosity fill lots of the green space makes for a stunning and relaxing garden. Optimise up-cycling opportunities for both furniture and flower displays too.
If life indoors stresses you out, life in your cottage-style garden will get you back to the level you want to be.
Your indoors outside
With many people still embracing the work-from-home culture, 2023 will see us bring our office outside, and if not the office, perhaps the living room. Outdoor furniture fused with accessories that wouldn’t look amiss indoors will complement composite decks, patios, and sheds. Sofa sets, luxury rugs, cushions and throws will all add a splash of colour, style and professionalism to your outdoor space doubling up as a workstation.
