Top 5 Fall Garden Trends Worth Copying Your Landscape
Staycation Station
Bring the indoors out and make a space the whole family can enjoy. From sophisticated garden designs to outdoor living rooms, outdoor spaces provide a break from the monotony of modern-day life at home. The vertical gardening and planter trend is great for various homes, regardless of size. Create a new focal point with a wall garden or a serene space with planters and petite fountains to turn your landscape into a resort-style retreat. Submit a contact form to our Director of Horticultural Services, Kevin Stone, for design or proposal requests.
Bold and Bright
Out with the neutrals and in with color. Embrace your personal style with seasonal plantings that offer pops of color and texture in your garden. While classic blue is the Pantone of the year, yellow is trending, and fall is ushering in a warmer palette. Think orange, peach, coral, saffron, and scarlet paired with darker accents. Check out our Top 15 Flowers for Fall Gardens in Atlanta list for some floral inspiration.
Edible Landscapes
Edible plants are IN this season, and texture is trending! Kale, mustard, cabbage, and Swiss chard are fantastic fall foliage that elevates the look of your garden and are the perfect accents for bright and bold-colored florals of seasonal plantings. Submit a request to our Horticultural and Garden Care Specialist, Charity, for design advice and seasonal planting services.
Architectural Trees
Mature specimens and architectural trees offer an immediate impact on any landscape, adding a touch of whimsy and sophistication. One of our favorite techniques in high-end landscape design is utilizing trees for framing a larger landscape or acting as a focal point for smaller gardens. Not only are architectural and specimen trees appealing to the eye, but offer practicality such as shade, screening, or separation. This fall's most favored architectural and specimen trees include cubed or pleached Hornbeams, Ginkgo Trees, Beech Trees, Chinese Fringe Trees, and (our favorite) Coral Bark Japanese Maples.
Organic Landscapes and Sustainable Gardens
Going green isn't some new wave of the future; it's here! With everyone moving to incorporate sustainability into their lifestyles, now is the time to talk about what your landscape can do for the environment. Our certified organic landscape programs allow you to move away from synthetic chemicals and fertilizers and into a new approach of care and treatment far less damaging to the environment. Entirely customizable for individual landscapes, Earth Conscious Organics works as a compost-based fertilizer to rebuild the soil to support the plants within the landscape from the ground up. Wildlife-sensitive environments are also rising in popularity, with pollinator gardens taking the cake. Not only are wildlife-friendly plantings beneficial to the environment and biodiversity, but they also provide educational entertainment for the family!
