Bird feeders, bird baths, and hanging baskets are the top garden trends for 2022 – while garden gnomes, trampolines, and artificial grass have had their day. More than one in ten, of 2,000 adults polled, are intentionally letting their gardens grow “wild” in order to encourage biodiversity, with wild flowers and vegetable patches among the top garden trends.
Fruit trees, composting areas, and greenhouses also appeared in the list of things people most like to see in a garden. But anything painted in an orange wood stain, wind chimes, recycled old tyres, and artificial topiary balls, are unlikely to be bought in 2022.
Water features and “living walls” are also among the most popular garden trends of the moment – while fake animals, buddha statues, and plastic ornaments are out.
