Spring and sunny days are coming:the time has finally come for you to enjoy your outdoor space without moderation. The green grass of your garden and its flowering trees are just waiting for an artistic touch to be highlighted. Find out what the garden trends are this year, and how to make yours a design and contemporary place.
Graphic design and purity are, in 2013, the key words for a successful, fun and trendy garden. The checkerboard is up to date and allows you to combine the practical with the artistic. A path of square granite or concrete slabs will allow you to access your vegetable garden without damaging your shoes!
Materials such as exotic or composite woods are also very easy to maintain and will give your garden charm and aesthetics. Want pools of water? Opt without hesitation for the square Japanese garden.
On the vegetation side, gazania, pittosporum and berberis are in the spotlight. The very colorful gazania will give a punchy touch to your garden. Pittosporum and berberis are shrubs which, for example, will form very attractive natural barriers to your terrace. Apprentice gardeners short on time will prefer synthetic plants, which are also very popular. In this case, orange pots will become the key accessories of your outdoor space!
This year, creativity is key. Any advice on how to be at the forefront of garden fashion? Let your inventiveness speak! Climbing plants and other ornamental strawberries will make your corner of greenery a real work of art by giving it an airy side.
