If you are, you\u2019re not alone, as a recent survey reported by BizJournals.com found that 57% of homeowners plan on doing some type of renovation, and of these aspiring renovators, nearly half (43%) will be doing some type of outdoor remodel, including updating or adding a deck or patio and upgrading landscaping.
\n
\nGarden Design magazine recently reported the hottest trends in 2015. Janet Loughrey interviewed gardening speaker and writer Stephanie Cohen to find out what updates homeowners should think about making this year.
\nEdible gardening coming to the fore
\n\u201cEdible gardening is becoming a bigger part of outdoor living spaces,\u201d said Cohen, who attends many trade shows around the country where the newest outdoor design trends are constantly being introduced. \u201cI saw a patio table at a trade show with a built-in pocket at the center planted with lettuce and herbs.\u201d Imagine being able to harvest your own salad right from the dinner table!
\n
\nGardening in small spaces
\n
\nThis type of gardening is especially attractive to urban gardeners, for whom space is a premium. Another trend for those with little space but a penchant for fresh produce is the variety of miniature fruit bushes on the market. For instance, BrazelBerries has come up with a mini version of blueberries and raspberries that grow and thrive in small containers.
\n
\nNo more food plots
\n
\nTroy Marden, a landscape designer, has seen similar trends in larger landscapes. Instead of having separate plots for food-producing plants and traditional landscaping, however, Marden says homeowners are choosing to blur the line and now mesh the two together. It is now kosher to plant blueberries and bamboo right next to each other.
\nHe credits young homeowners with the rise of this trend, saying, \u201cWith an increased awareness of industrial farming practices, these young adults are more conscious of where their food comes from.\u201d He went on, \u201cGrowing fresh food is becoming part of an everyday lifestyle.\u201d
\n
\nEmphasis on low-maintenance plants
\n
\nWith many parts of the country suffering from or threatened by drought, plants that are low-maintenance and have low water requirements are also more popular. Billy Goodnick, a landscape designer out of California, said a lot of these drought-resistant plants are native to South Africa, Australia, and California and \u201cwith good design, you can use water-wise plants and sstill get any style and look that you want.\u201d
