As we enter 2025, garden trends are clearly evolving beyond aesthetics to embrace more natural, sustainable, and meaningful spaces. At the heart of the 2025 Garden Trends is Nature’s Renaissance—a powerful shift toward reclaiming nature in urban environments, rewilding landscapes, and creating green spaces that serve ecological and emotional needs.
In the coming year, trends that once focused on perfection and pristine landscapes will give way to more organic, diverse, and inclusive garden styles. We’re seeing a revitalization of urban spaces, as malls and other commercial areas are being reimagined as community hubs that integrate green spaces. Many cities are tearing up concrete to make room for green spaces, with initiatives like PHS’s LandCare in Philadelphia and AnnaMaria Leon and Jeff Epping in Chicago’s leading the charge. As we step away from perfectly manicured lawns, this year’s trends focus on integrating natural elements into our urban lives. The goal is to create environments that are beautiful and functional, allowing both people and wildlife to thrive.
In 2025, gardeners will embrace this shift with more native plantings, living fences, and rewilded gardens, prioritizing biodiversity and sustainability. Gone are the days of sterile, manicured lawns—this year, it’s all about embracing the chaos of nature's chaos
Here’s a look at the eight trends that will shape the future of gardening and what we’re leaving behind.
