Garden Outdoor
Looks Ideas to
Adopt for Garden
Month (April)
By Chioma Esuibom
Gardens mean something
different to everyone,
because no outdoor space is
the same.
For some it’s a sanctuary to spend
long balmy summer days relaxing,
while others prefer pottering,
planting and pruning at all times.
Whichever appeals to you it’s the
same principle – our gardens are
a space for fun, relaxation and
enjoyment. Our vision for gardens
of 2022 is all about getting the most
from our outdoor spaces.
So without further ado, here we
reveal the latest garden trends to
inspire our outdoor spaces…
Wild gardens
‘I’d say that the trend for this year is the
immersive, natural, wildlife garden and,
to be honest, this thrills me to the core!”
says designer, broadcaster and author
Ann-Marie Powell MSGD. She says her
studio is receiving lots more enquiries
from clients wanting natural, loose
gardens.
‘People want gardens that look like they
are ‘of nature’ rather than the more
obviously designed spaces.’
Anne-Marie predicts that ’naturescaping’
and ‘curated wildling’ will be
the buzz words of 2022.
This theory is echoed by Ana Sanchez-
Martin MSGD of The Garden Company
who says, ‘I am hoping that more and
more people will be jumping on the
‘Rewilding wagon’! One of the positive
effects of the pandemic is that people
now understand the therapeutic
effects of gardening. They want to
create a sense of sanctuary in their
garden, to be surrounded by plants
and to be enveloped by nature and
to increase biodiversity.’
