Despite the fact that the change of fashion trends in the interior proceeds much faster than the design of the garden, there are still changes in this area. This was facilitated by the COVID epidemic, which sent many to remote work, as well as world exhibitions and festivals dedicated to landscape design. In addition, the Flower Jam festival was held in Moscow. Their prize-winning works are focused on environmental development. What should a fashion garden be like in 2023?
Ornamental vegetation
Naturalness in fashion has reached landscape design. Therefore, it is best to decorate the garden area with unpretentious, easy-growing plants and flowers that are more common in the wild. These include:
Astilbe
Shrubs are distinguished by a fluffy and colored dome. Plants can be planted with accents, decorating them with a recreation area, a garden part and a front entrance. Astilbe has several varieties that vary in color and flowering size. The most popular are Chinese Astilbe, as well as Tumberg and Arendsu. The plant can reach a meter height, the inflorescences have a cone-shaped shape.
Bergenia
The flora also has a bright color, large leaves, but smaller size. The plant may have several inflorescences with pink, white or red “bells”. The height of the flower reaches 40 cm. A flower bed with these flowers looks beautiful in the summer and autumn season.
Brunner
The inflorescence of the plant resembles a forget-me-not or a night violet. Flowers grow up to 50 cm, formed into bushes. Brunner is a perennial vegetation, in addition, it manages to throw out flower stalks several times a season. Bushes are unpretentious, easily tolerate sun and shade, can fill voids under fruit trees.
Buzulnik
The plant has cone-shaped inflorescences of bright yellow color. It grows more than a meter tall. The flower looks natural and easy, which completely coincides with the trend of the season. They can complement individual flower beds and areas under trees.
Zhivuchka
It has inflorescences of an elongated shape and a bright blue-lilac color. The plant is called creeping tenacious, since it does not rise high from the ground. It takes root well on any soil.
Foxglove
This is another variety of cone-shaped flowers with a meter height, consisting of many bells. The inflorescences are pink in color, so they stand out brightly in the flower bed. However, you should be careful with the plant, as it belongs to the category of poisonous.
Host
The flora has no flowers, but is decorated with beautiful leaves, painted with light green, bright green and even white stripes. The leaves grow in voluminous bushes, do not require care and give the flower bed volume.
Living fences and walls
In addition to decorating flower beds with the help of plants, I recommend performing larger compositions. Living fences in the background of the courtyard are especially popular. Such a wall looks impressive and corresponds to the natural design. Even if there is a blind fence, it should be closed with climbing roses, grapes, shrubs and trees.
Japanese gardens
Decoration in the technique of Zen garden is now actively used not only in summer cottages, but even in the design of apartments or loggias. Japanese design is characterized by lush low-growing trees and shrubs, as well as compositions of smooth rounded stones. The design is relevant for the recreation area, where you can relax and take a break from the bustle of the city.
Tropical elements
Since last year, the gold bottom of the palm tree has remained popular. To it were added such trends as:
- flowering vine;
- tropical bamboo;
- evergreens.
Evergreen plants are an indispensable element of a modern garden, as designers design the landscape so that you can enjoy its beauty in any season. For the same reason, it is necessary to plant mountain ash in the garden, for example.
Gardeners recommend using the most unexpected vegetation in the design, which will help create not just a vacation landscape, but to study rare exotic plants.
A white oasis
Vegetation with white inflorescences came into fashion last year. But this season it is recommended to supplement it with white garden furniture, appropriate coloring of flower beds and other white décor.
Water bodies
In the summer season, artificial ponds and mini-fountains should be framed in metal décor or natural stones. Thus, it will be possible to create a peaceful atmosphere in the garden. And to do it with your own hands is not only possible, but even necessary. So it will be possible to maintain the natural unprofessional negligence, fashionable this year.
Imitation of a meadow
Herbs are a distinctive element of Udolfian landscape design. Such plant décor does not require special care and looks more than attractive.
Patio style
Years earlier, designers had already tried to transfer elements of kitchen furnishings to open space. This year, they decided to repeat and even multiply the experiment, supplementing the most functional cooking place with a corner for work. This was also facilitated by the transition to hybrid employment.
Garden terrace
The arrangement of a beautiful terrace amidst a floral abundance is also a fashionable decoration in 2022. In the recreation area, it is worth installing armchairs and sofas with numerous soft pillows, blankets and poufs. The only problem in this design is the protection of objects from possible rain and wind.
Аналогичным образом стоит устроить детский уголок с подвесными шалашами, спортивной площадкой и территорией для подвижных игр. Подобное устройство стало актуальным не только на дачных участках, но и в городских дворах или придомовых территориях.
Растениями можно украшать балконы и лоджии, создавая таким образом мини-сады в условиях мегаполисов. Причем помимо цветов, в горшочках стоит посадить овощные и ягодные культуры. Единение человека с природой, ее естественным проявлением – вот, что модно в 2022 году. Поэтому следует использовать каждый метр для озеленения и садового декора!
