A healthy living environment depends on biodiversity and circularity. It's no wonder that the latest gardening trend, Meaningful Earth, focuses on our planet, symbolising fertility and our connection to history. Gardening has always been a popular hobby, but there has been a shift towards a more meaningful and sustainable approach in recent years. This latest trend allows landscapers worldwide to connect with nature and make a positive impact on the environment. 

One of the core principles of Meaningful Earth gardening is supporting local ecosystems and creating a garden in harmony with nature. Consider the region's specific needs, choose plants that support local wildlife, and embrace sustainable practices. By choosing climate-proof plants such as Lomandra White Sands or Agastache Beelicious for the landscape, you not only create a habitat for local wildlife but also reduce the need for excessive watering, fertilisers, and pesticides.

With an emphasis on the earth, the concept is to create an 'earthy' gardening plan using raw and rugged materials, such as layers of natural earth, sand in various colours, minerals, and stones. You will also see the incorporation of objects like statues that symbolise a connection to cultural roots. Using diverse materials creates a contrast and features whimsical and rough shapes. Plant arrangements have a rustic, natural look and feel, rather than being neat and tidy. Varieties such as Echinacea Pretty Parasols, Limonium Dazzle Rocks or Tradescantia JS® Brainstorm fit the bill perfectly and add both colour, life and shape to the landscape.

The Meaningful Earth trend also embraces a natural and almost untamed appearance. Objects have rough and irregular shapes, like whimsical logs or large blocks of rugged stone. Borders are not meticulously groomed but seem to have formed spontaneously, with playful clusters of grass such as the Carex Evercolor® series, plants like the Sedum Sunsparkler® series, and wild-looking flowers such as the newly introduced Papaver orientale Red Rumble.
