Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, there is always something new to learn and try. From creating an oasis in your garden to adding privacy with a beautiful fence, there are plenty of ways to make your outdoor space more beautiful and functional. Here are the top garden trends for 2023.
Garden of Eden vibe with herbs and edible plants and flowers
One of the biggest garden trends for 2023 is creating a Garden of Eden vibe in your outdoor space. This means incorporating more herbs, edible plants, and flowers into your garden design. Not only do these plants add beauty to your garden, they also provide fresh ingredients for cooking and a natural source of medicine. Some popular native Australian herbs and edible plants to consider include native river mint, native thyme, lemon myrtle, and cinnamon myrtle.
Scandinavian minimalism and Danish hygge
Scandinavian minimalism and Danish hygge have been growing in popularity in interior design for years, and now they are making their way into the garden as well. This trend focuses on creating a simple and cosy space with natural materials and neutral colours. Think light-coloured wood furniture, woven blankets, and plenty of greenery. The goal is to create a calming and peaceful space that encourages relaxation and mindfulness.
Keep it aesthetically simple
Another trend for 2023 is keeping your garden design aesthetically simple. This means using fewer colours and patterns and instead focusing on the beauty of the natural elements in your garden. For example, instead of filling your garden with brightly coloured flowers, you might choose to use a single colour palette or stick to greenery and simple white blooms. By simplifying your garden design, you can create a more cohesive and calming space.
Create a relaxing oasis in your garden
For many people life is getting increasingly more stressful, and we all need time to wind down and relax. That is why it can be a wonderful idea to create a relaxing oasis in your garden or on your deck. Create a little space in your garden where you can relax and simply just be. The key is to create a space that encourages you to slow down for a few moments. Ideas could be adding a fountain, a pond, comfy outdoor furniture, a fluffy blanket and some outdoor candles to your outdoor space.
Add some privacy with a beautiful fence
While chatting to your neighbours can be really lovely, you probably also need a little bit of privacy every now and then. Here, a beautiful fence can be a great solution. Choosing a fence that blends in with the surrounding landscape can be really beautiful. Consider natural materials like wood or bamboo that go well with the design of almost every garden and outdoor space.
Choose drought tolerant plants
One of the biggest trends at the moment is choosing waterwise plants. Living in Aussie we all need to be mindful of the water consumption, and naturally that includes being mindful of the water usage in the garden. This means choosing plants and flowers that require less water to thrive and can withstand periods of drought so you do not need to water them everyday during the scorching hot summer months.
Some of the most popular drought tolerant plants include lavender, rosemary, cacti and succulents. By choosing waterwise plants you can both create a beautiful garden and be mindful of the environment.
Make a vegetable garden
Now that you already have some herbs and edible flowers, why not take it a step further and make your very own vegetable garden at home? Especially, given the high food prices we are experiencing at the moment. During the lockdown many people started growing their own vegetables, and that trend is going nowhere. You can grow everything from cucumber and tomatoes to kale and courgette. Or how about strawberries and raspberries? There is nothing better than harvesting your own vegetables and cooking up a delicious fresh meal for your friends and family.
Take your garden to the next level with a natural swimming pond
If you have the space for it a natural swimming pond will take your outdoor space to the next level. Then you do not need to head to the beach or the nearest lake when you need a little dip. A natural swimming pond is safe, it does not cost anything to heat and the filtration is chemical-free. And plants and wildlife will love it too.
