Urban gardening trends for every urbanite
What's the story
As people seek a closer connection to nature, even within the confines of urban spaces, gardening trends are flourishing. From balcony blooms to green walls, urban gardening is transforming not just landscapes but mindsets.
After all you need a comforting home to lead a happy and peaceful lifestyle.
Let's explore the burgeoning trends that are turning city spaces into green sanctuaries.
Trend 1
Rooftop vertical gardens
Maximizing vertical spaces, urban gardeners are transforming balconies and rooftops into lush gardens.
Container gardening with a variety of pots and planters allows for a diverse range of plants, from ornamental flowers to productive herbs and vegetables.
These tiny greens packs a flavorful punch. Beyond microgreens, urban gardeners are exploring indoor cultivation of herbs, vegetables, and even fruits, utilizing vertical gardening setups.
Trend 2
Prioritize plants as decor
Using real plants is one of the simplest methods to implement biophilic design in your house.
Start basic with a low-maintenance plant for your work desk or a set of potted herbs for your kitchen windowsill.
Plant your favorite leafy varieties in every corner of your home or cover a full wall with them. You may even surround your stairway with greenery.
Trend 3
Indoor-outdoor connection
Connect your outdoor and indoor living areas to create an effortless connection between your home and nature. Try adding movable sliding doors.
Other indulgences that can create the impression of nature being purposefully incorporated into your home's design include a balcony off your bedroom or a deck that leads to your kitchen.
At the least, open your windows or blinds.
Trend 4
Turn your balcony into green oasis
Create an urban forest on your balcony by using some distinctive biophilic home design. A wall of turf grass can be added to provide the appearance of a vertical garden.
Put some tiny plants on the wall shelves and some potted ones on the floor. Hanging pots will enhance your balcony.
You can also put a turf grass carpet on the floor.
