Join us on a journey through the landscape trends of 2024 that not only enhance aesthetics but also contribute to environmental well-being.
Prioritizing Pollinators
First up is one that we’ve been seeing more and more through the past few years. Unsurprisingly pollinator-friendly landscapes made the top of this years list. Beyond mere aesthetics, creating environments that attract and support pollinators like bees and butterflies plays a vital role in ecological balance.
Our approach at SCW Group involves integrating native plants that attract and provide sustenance for local pollinators. Here in Middle TN a few great ones include Black-Eyed Susans, Goldenrod, Asters, and Coneflowers plus there are so many more! This guide from the TDOT pollinator habitat program has a more extensive list of plants and how to support pollinators! With such a wide array of pollinator friendly plants it’s easy to add this trend into your landscape.
Growing Edimentals
This trend we had to look up, only to find that we’re already doing it! Edimentals, the fusion of edible and ornamental plants, is a trend that delights both the eyes and the palate. Imagine a garden that not only captivates with its beauty but also offers a harvest of fresh, flavorful herbs and vegetables. This trend promotes sustainability and also encourages a connection between people and the food they consume.
We’ve made providing beautiful edible gardens a mission since the foundation of SCW Group. From growing edible plants such as sage, tomatoes, and fruit trees to building greenhouses and raised flower beds we strive to make Edimentals a regular part of modern landscapes. Our specialty gardening services include the design, building, and maintenance of these exact types of garden beds.
Drought Tolerant Florals
Water conservation remains a critical concern, and 2024 sees a surge in the popularity of drought-tolerant florals. By selecting plants that thrive in arid conditions, we contribute to sustainable landscaping practices without compromising on beauty. We love flowers! We use them in landscape beds and pots and seasonal displays so we know the importance of creating a beautiful scene. Being able to do so while prioritizing environmental concerns like water waste is a perfect combination.
This trend also saves you time and money by cutting out irrigation needs. Even if you only choose a couple places in your landscape to prioritize drought tolerant florals every little bit counts!
Naturalistic Planting
The shift towards more naturalistic planting designs continues to gain traction. Inspired by the beauty of untamed landscapes, this trend promotes a harmonious blend of native and adapted plants, creating visually stunning, low-maintenance gardens.
Our team at SCW Group specializes in crafting landscapes that mirror the elegance of nature, ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding environment. This style of landscaping can be used throughout an entire property or limited to a few key places. A naturalistic bed space also lends itself well to pollinators giving them a variety of plants to choose from and a dedicated space to recharge.
