YOUR CITY GARDEN, YOUR STYLE
Are you after a city garden with a tropical vibe or do you prefer a romantic garden with a vintage edge? Do you prefer a space full of charm, fragrance and colour, or would you rather reap the benefits of an edible garden? The choice is yours.
COLOURFUL CITY GARDEN
A tonal orange border, playfully laid tiles, green climbing plants and colourful blooms against an old city wall: this city garden plays with different natural elements and playful shapes, with a touch of nostalgia added. In love with this style? Then choose plants such as bamboo, Phoenix, primrose, begonia, ivy, Astrantia, Asparagus Fern, Thunbergia Alata, (climbing) rose and African Marigold.
TROPICAL URBAN GARDEN
Give your city garden an instant tropical feel by using large tropical plants. Light grey stepping stones and natural materials such as reed and wood emphasise the urban atmosphere in your city garden. When it comes to plants, opt for tropical beauties such as Strelitzia, Phormium Tenax and sticky seeds. Note: these plants thrive best in a sunny spot. Sticky seed also likes to be sheltered.
EDIBLE CITY GARDEN
Do you dream of an urban garden where you literally reap the benefits? Creating an edible garden is simpler than you might think and you don't need much space for it! Remove some tiles and create a mini border full of edible plants and flowers, or opt for fruit and vegetable plants in pots. How about red pepper, nasturtiums, tomatoes, strawberries or chilli peppers? It could also be fun to grow your own garden herbs. Then you will enjoy delicious fragrances and also be totally in tune with the style trend of the moment.
ROMANTIC CITY GARDEN
If your city garden could use some colour and charm, choose ornamental and lovely-smelling plants such as geraniums and climbing roses. Create a seating area among the greenery and you're sure to be on a pink cloud in your garden! Butterflies and bees love geraniums and roses, so your garden is also good for biodiversity.
