Garden trends change from season to season. Last year, we tried to arrange our gardens in the color of Very Peri, this season gardening stores will not run out of flowers and accessories similar to Magenta. However, for several years there have been trends that will probably never go out of fashion. Are you curious about what we mean? Check out our article and get inspired before spring arrives!
What will be fashionable in gardens in 2023?
Change is the only constant in our lives, this saying has become popular, especially in the last two years, when most of us had to adapt to a new way of life. It quickly turned out that pandemic habits, such as remote work or resting in your own garden, self-growing vegetables and fruits, have become so common that not only are they not extraordinary, but it is now hard to imagine our everyday life without them. Fashion for life in the slow version, for eco-lifestyle and garden mindfulness, will certainly stay with us for years. Trends for 2023 are just another proof that we have entered the Green Era for good!
The blossoming of individuality!
Fashions and trends change and modify quickly, and in recent years they have been accelerating more and more. This means that trends that used to last several seasons are now being replaced by micro-trends , which, especially in commercial industries, last no more than a few weeks. Fortunately, there are also classics that are permanently included in the canon. We hope that in our green industry, apart from the eco trend and natural gardens, the fashion for originality will always stay with us .
According to specialists in 'trend research', i.e. trend forecasting, 2023 will be a real bloom of individuality. In times of consumerism, information, and stimuli overload, as never before, what counts is a unique idea for yourself. Therefore, if you want to arrange a fashionable garden, take mega-trends into account, but do not forget about your own style and preferences!
Back to nature. Do you like slow food? You will love slow-gardening!
The fashion for slow-food has spread in small and large cities, and most importantly, it has entered our private kitchens, changing eating habits. Simple composition, natural additives, the power of vegetables - are just a few features of a healthy plate for the 21st century. Together with conscious nutrition, there was also greater gardening awareness and so 2023 is definitely the time for slow gardening!
Slow gardening is a colloquial, borrowed from English, term that perfectly reflects the essence of gardening in the spirit of ecology and permaculture. This so-called "healthy" gardening rejects pesticides, and artificial plant protection products and draws patterns from nature.
Replace your lawn with a flower meadow!
The fashion for a lawn trimmed to the ruler has long passed! Therefore, if you notice daisies, dandelions, and maybe even weeds (wrongly considered ugly) on your green carpet, don't rush with the pruning shears! Better set up a real flower meadow or at least give your lawn a little more freedom.
Creating a flourishing flower meadow is a simple and achievable task that requires minimal effort. Most meadow plants are perennial species, so you will not need to supplement and sow seeds every year. Ready mixes are available at garden stores. “
Bet on native species
Native species are not only easier to obtain but also quite easy to grow - adapted to the prevailing conditions, they do not cause much trouble in care, and they are resistant to frost, high temperature, drought, as well as periodic flooding.
A bouquet straight from your own garden: put on your CUT FLOWER GARDEN
' Cut flower garden ' is another borrowing from English, for which it is difficult to find such a precise term in Polish. This type of garden is nothing more than a garden where cut flowers grow, species intended for bouquets. In social media, we can observe a growing trend for DIY bouquets, so arranging at least one patch in your garden for growing cut flowers is undoubtedly a 'must-have' on the long list of gardening plans for the new season!
Vertical gardens are still on TOP
Vertical gardens are a perfect solution, especially for small spaces, where every square meter is at a premium. Green walls will work, for example, on a balcony or patio.
Container gardens: grow a container garden
Growing plants in containers is a trend that is gaining more and more interest. Just look at the previous editions of the Chelsea Flower Show, where a separate category was even created for this type of crop, i.e. 'container gardens' . A garden in a pot is a great alternative not only to the balcony but also to the terrace, which is connected to the garden. Boxes with plants are easy to move, thanks to which we can create new arrangements almost every day.
Growing in a container is a patent for a functional and aesthetic vegetable garden. If you are wondering how to design the so-called. kitchen garden, use e.g. wooden crates and paint them a shade similar to magenta, which is the most fashionable color of 2023!
The craze for collectors: fashion for potted exotics
The fashion for potted plants is especially visible on Instagram. Almost every influencer wants to create a real urban jungle in their apartment! If you also belong to this group, you definitely follow the trends! The home jungle not only looks great but also produces oxygen and improves air quality. Scientific research conducted by NASA even proves that potted plants clean the air of toxins.
The sight of blooming cacti, orchids, spathiflora, or shiny monstera leaves is a real, fascinating, and, above all, stress-relieving way to spend not only your free time but also those small, few-minute breaks at work.
