Top gardening trends of 2025
Gardening experts at
Matrix planting
It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting.
In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed.
Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control.
Chrysanthemum comeback
I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme.
The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border.
Blended borders
For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year.
The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing!
Must-have tool
My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else.
It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said!
The sofa set, which was originally priced at £350, has now been reduced to £275.

The £2 buy that brightens up your garden & ‘works wonders' keeping flies out as mum urges people to ‘forget' DIY hacks
WITH summer in full force and Brits enjoying glorious weather, many homeowners may have noticed more flies appearing in their garden and houses. This is because this is the time of year that pesky bugs love the most, as the warmer, brighter days boost their energy levels. Advertisement 2 The genius solution was recently shared on TikTok by mum-of-three Jaimie Elmo Credit: TIKTOK/theelmosworlds 2 The disco ball should be placed somewhere bright and sunny to capture and reflect the light Credit: TIKTOK/theelmosworlds The start of summer also marks the start of their mating season and they can all emerge at once to begin reproducing. Not to mention, there is also increased food availability with BBQs and picnics, meaning they are often on the search for a tasty snack. So it's no wonder that Online, there are what feels like dozens of different hacks - from using basil, a viral Advertisement However, if you've given these a shot but with no worthwhile results, there's another remedy. The best part? Not only is it effective and wallet-friendly but will also brighten up your outdoor space in seconds. The genius solution was recently shared on TikTok by mum-of-three Jaimie Elmo, who also urged people to ''forget'' other DIY hacks. According to the savvy mother, whose username is @ Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Pest control expert, Juan C. Rezk, explained that this method can be ''effective'' because flies mostly rely on light and reflection for navigation. ''Their sense of direction may be affected by the reflections cast everywhere by a spinning disco ball in direct sunshine,'' he told The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ ''It doesn't harm them, but if it irritates them enough, they may avoid the area.'' For best results, the disco ball - available for just £2 on Advertisement According to Juan, using a disco ball to get rid of gnats and flies works best outside, on decks, patios, and barns. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! ''To truly reflect, it requires direct sunlight or a powerful light source,'' he explained. ''Inside is not worth it though. Flies just ignore the scatter effect because most interior lighting isn't intense enough to produce it.'' While this remedy won't work well on cloudy days, a disco ball is a fun way to add flair to your Advertisement Sharing the hack - which is ideal if you want to keep your garden chemical-free - Jaimie said in the caption: ''Forget the water and pennies in a Ziploc trick. This has been working wonders.'' 'I love how it looks' Since being uploaded, the informative video - one that's sure to help millions of frustrated people - has won almost 920k views. As over 28k people gave it a like, more than 170 flooded to comments where one joked: ''It puts the flies into a panic at the disco.'' Advertisement Another also swore by this wallet-friendly solution, writing: ''I did this too & it actually works and also I love how it looks.''

''It helped us with the birds that pooped on our deck, but now that I think about it.. flies are way less than past years!!''
