With the promise of warm weather on the horizon, our thoughts naturally go to the great outdoors\u2014and the day when we can soon get our hands dirty in the garden.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re as excited about exercising your green thumb as we are, then you\u2019ll be interested to learn that some of 2023\u2019s biggest gardening trends are anything but ordinary. In fact, if you\u2019re inspired by the idea of experimenting with color and texture in your outdoor space, we have quite a lineup for you. While some of these trends reflect major pop culture moments (\u201cBridgerton,\u201d anyone?), others are a response to important issues, including climate change and growing food costs.<\/p>\n

Ready to turn over a new leaf in your yard? Read on.<\/p>\n

Your garden can be so much more than just something pretty to look at. Recently, people have become more interested in dreaming up gardens they can immerse multiple senses in.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating an immersive garden demands a delicate balance of design, horticulture, and sensory experience,\u201d says Gene Caballero, CEO of GreenPal<\/a> in Nashville, TN.<\/p>\n

When designing an immersive garden<\/a>, incorporate varying textures, such as smooth leaves and fuzzy flowers. It\u2019s also essential to add scent. Aromatic plants, such as lavender, roses, and herbs, are excellent picks for this.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy thoughtfully placing fragrant plants throughout, you can lead visitors on a sensory adventure,\u201d Caballero says.<\/p>\n

Lastly, make sure your immersive garden is visually stunning.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining plants with contrasting colors and textures, you can create a vibrant and dynamic garden that evolves with the seasons,\u201d Caballero says.<\/p>\n

He points out that strategically placed lighting can highlight specific areas and create a magical atmosphere at night.<\/p>\n

2. Regency-style gardens<\/h2>\n

As it turns out, \u201cBridgerton\u201d isn\u2019t influencing just clothing and beauty trends, but garden and landscaping looks, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cFloralizing trends have been percolating from the Royal Horticultural Society into mainstream media,\u201d says Noah James<\/strong>, owner of Liberty Lawn Garden<\/a> in Vancouver, British Columbia. \u201cNow, more than ever, \u2018Bridgerton\u2019-style gardens are blooming with romanticism and beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homeowners should incorporate climbing roses and hydrangeas into their outdoor spaces to get this look, James recommends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese two simple plants can instantly transform a dull backyard into an English countryside masterpiece,\u201d James says.<\/p>\n

For best results, use several types of roses in different shades of white or pink to mimic a Regency-era estate.<\/p>\n

A strategically placed pergola, pathway, or bench can also create a romantic feel as they\u2019ll encourage you or your guests to linger in the garden.<\/p>\n

3. Eco-friendly gardens<\/h2>\n

Xeriscaping is becoming increasingly popular because it\u2019s a more sustainable and water-conscious approach to landscaping.<\/p>\n

\u201cXeriscaping<\/a> is a trend in garden and landscape design where native plants are used to create sustainable gardens that require minimal water and maintenance,\u201d says Jason Farr<\/strong>, interior designer and founder of Aviara Pavers<\/a> in San Diego.<\/p>\n

Opt for low-maintenance perennials, which come back year after year, or install water-efficient vertical gardens.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in adding sustainable elements to your garden, Lindsey Hyland<\/strong>, the founder of Urban Organic Yield<\/a>, recommends using composting bins to help reduce waste. You can also conserve water by capturing and reusing rainwater.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these simple solutions, you\u2019ll be able to create an environmentally-friendly garden that conserves resources while being tailored specifically for your space,\u201d Hyland adds.<\/p>\n

4. Food gardens<\/h2>\n

\nAs food costs continue to rise, people are taking matters into their own hands by planting food gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are willing to put in the work of setting up and tending a garden to offset that cost,\u201d says Liz Will<\/strong>, master gardener, certified garden coach, and Learn to Grow Gardens<\/a> owner. \u201cAs a bonus, they\u2019re discovering a love for gardening and a hobby that reduces stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, these gardens don\u2019t resemble the edible gardens of yesteryear. Instead, Will shares that they now better reflect owners\u2019 home aesthetics.<\/p>\n

\u201cArched trellises for tomatoes and ornate obelisks for beans and peas are replacing the wire tomato cages of the past,\u201d Will says.<\/p>\n

Simple wooden raised beds are also disappearing, and eye-catching corrugated steel and concrete are being used instead.<\/p>\n

Will doesn\u2019t think home gardeners will attempt to grow everything they eat. However, she believes that backyard kitchen gardens are here to stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to collect a few herbs and some salad greens to accompany dinner is a wonderful thing,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
