Every year, new garden trends are introduced. New creative ideas for fresh gardening emerge, with gardeners finding fun ways to keep their gardens fresh.

Here are a few trending garden ideas to look out for.

Gravel Gardens

With the hot summer climate, gravel gardens are ideal because of how they retain water. Considered by gardeners as sustainable, low-water garden and low maintenance.

Prioritise Pollinators

If your garden is full of pollinator-friendly plants, be sure to expect a variation of pollinator insects. Seeing bees, butterflies, beetles, and birds is a sign that your garden is wildlife-friendly. By selecting plants that provide habitat and food for birds and insects, you’ll create a garden that is beautiful, sustainable and biodiverse.
