Today we will talk about some garden ideas that will help focus your attention on inspiring landscape design trends. After all, it is often enough for a person to find that small image, detail or concept of landscape design that suits him and his family, which will help him understand and reveal what he really lacked in his ideal image of his private home.
At such moments we can creatively open up, find inspiration and make our garden a truly unique and warm space.
Below are garden design options and ideas that our landscape designers have noted as the most popular and relevant recently.
ECO-FRIENDLY GARDENS
This year, there is a resurgence in the trend of letting plants lose their perfect, neat appearance.
Gardening is all about control: when to apply it and when to let nature take its course. We have to be constantly on the lookout for pruning plants and mowing the lawn.
But recently, in modern households with minimalist design, the concept of natural style has become popular, which in various scales returns to natural habitats. Based on these principles, plants are selected that do not require constant and careful care, are not demanding to the water regime of irrigation. And of course, this does not change the fact that we still have to fight weeds and unwanted plants. The whole secret is to create a living and natural effect, without losing control of your garden.
This year, more attention than ever before was paid to the restorative effects of nature and open space.
Plants that provide shelter for birds and bees are increasingly on our customers’ wish lists. This is in line with a trend called “rewilding,” in which land is being returned at various scales to natural habitats that can provide water, food, and shelter for all creatures great and small.
As people in general have become more landscape savvy, gardening and landscaping trends have changed. Many homeowners now hire landscape designers to design them gardens that take care of themselves and look more natural overall.
“Green areas populated by plants that can withstand extreme heat and require minimal watering are becoming the most popular and in demand,” says Ekaterina Korsun, an expert in gardening and landscape design at the Emerald City company.
OPEN LIVING SPACES
As the climate in Russia gets warmer, the popularity of outdoor living is growing. Internet searches for “garden furniture” are increasing every year. People are expanding their living spaces beyond their homes, including with the help of quality garden furniture. The global outdoor furniture market is predicted to grow by another 5% in 2 years.
Combining indoor and outdoor spaces and creating an outdoor living area is a key trend for the coming years, and choosing the right furniture is an important consideration. Low sofas and benches add elegance and don’t block the view of the garden, while adding cushions or throws can help soften the look.
By some estimates, by 2050 many of our cities will have a climate similar to that of central Europe today, and in the coming years and decades the trend towards outdoor living will become mainstream.
DECORATIVE VEGETABLE GARDEN
Today, home gardens are no longer the preserve of country houses, but are appearing and being woven into almost every style of outdoor space. Whether it’s a garden integrated into the landscape design of a luxury cottage or simple herbs growing in pots on a balcony, the “grow your own” trend is on a strong upward trajectory.
The pandemic has changed our way of thinking, approach and priorities, people want to devote more time to the development of their territories, as well as their own knowledge – that is why growing plants from seeds has gained popularity this year and will undoubtedly only grow.
People are becoming more autonomous and self-sufficient. Vegetables, berries, fruits grown with their own hands bring great joy and satisfaction to our customers. Not least of all, this is important for the confidence that the grown products are completely environmentally friendly and safe for health.
Also, for many, creating an area to grow and care for edible plants is a path to mindfulness and connection with nature.
