With the imminent entry into a new year, it is time to focus on the trends that 2024 will bring us. Not only in terms of fashion and beauty, but also with respect to interior decoration and gardens. Because yes, trends also apply to gardening.
Obviously, you are not going to transform your entire garden from one year to the next, but you can adapt it to what is happening by making a series of small changes that will make a big difference. Not in vain, the garden of a home is a private oasis where you can enjoy relaxation and disconnection, especially in the months of good weather.
So that you don’t get caught out with a messy garden when spring arrives, you can take note of the gardening trends that will have the most prominence in 2024, to start applying them in your green area as soon as possible. Let’s do it!
Climate change is an increasingly relevant concern and this, of course, influences gardens. Given the extreme climatic conditions – a succession of droughts and abnormally high temperatures with torrential rains or drastic drops in temperatures – the best thing to do is to opt for resilient plants that adapt to any circumstance. Cacti and succulents will be very popular, as well as trees such as pine and olive trees.
The word garden should be associated with nature, but this is not always the case. Artificiality often prevails in these spaces, either because we seek simpler maintenance or because we strive to cultivate a species that has nothing to do with the area where we live. This 2024, the most genuine and almost wild-looking gardens will be created, where it seems that nature itself is free to roam with hardly any intervention from us.
This is achieved by growing native plants, which will survive better under the conditions of the area in which you live. Also embracing natural grass and even clover meadows instead of artificial grass. Letting plants grow larger than necessary and look slightly wild will also give your garden a striking look.
Forget about planting exotic, rare and difficult-to-maintain flowers in your garden. In 2024, simplicity and timelessness take the lead, giving prominence to the most classic flowers, but they never fail: roses, hydrangeas, peonies and other elegant and low-maintenance species.
Sustainability is the maxim that governs gardening trends for 2024. This also means having a garden where you can grow your own foodstuffs, from peppers and tomatoes to zucchini, as well as fruit trees. It doesn’t have to be a large plantation, adapt it to your space so that it gives it harmony.
