With the festive season and New Year done and dusted, and spring just around the corner, many of us will be thinking ahead to our time in the sun and our much-anticipated return to the garden.
The start of 2022 offers tons of inspiration for transforming outdoor spaces big and small. If you’re looking to give your garden a whole new look in the months ahead, you’ll want to check out the following garden trends for 2022…
The warmer weather on the horizon means outdoor entertaining is back on the menu once again. With this in mind, bringing the outdoors in and vice versa will be particularly popular.
You can use various garden design elements to blur the lines between your interior and exterior. Add climbing plants to the outside of your property, place pretty hanging baskets in full view, incorporate house plants into your home interior, design a welcoming garden room, and grow your own both indoors and out to extend your living space dramatically.
With international travel still up in the air across a plethora of our favourite tropical destinations, many of us will be facing another year of staycations in our search for holiday bliss. But you don’t have to travel to enjoy the UK’s best and brightest scenes thanks to this leading garden trend.
During 2022, garden designers will be encouraging that far from home feeling with the use of tropical plant species, and you should do the same. Bold foliage like caladiums (also known as ‘Elephant’s Ears’), and vibrant blooms such as the hardy hibiscus variety Rose of Sharon are great picks for British gardens looking to embrace that tropical vibe.
The environment should be a key consideration in your 2022 garden design plans. Take your love for sustainability up a notch by turning your outdoor space into an eco-paradise.
Growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs is just the beginning. You can counter climate change by using a mixture of drought tolerant and water loving plant varieties, turning part of your outdoor space into your very own rain garden, and making a special effort to recycle water in your home and garden.
Give nature a home by embracing another top trend for 2022. Creating a haven for wildlife has been growing in popularity, and it’s bigger than ever this year.
There are many steps you can take to support local wildlife, from installing a wildlife pond and reducing your lawn to planting wildlife friendly blooms and rewilding part of your garden.
