Embrace the movement towards a more naturalistic garden style for a low-maintenance, climate-resilient garden that oozes natural character and is packed with wildlife-friendly plants. Inspired by the way self-sustaining plant communities exist in nature, naturalistic gardens embrace ecology and require less water, while allowing plants to gently self-seed and spread to cover bare soil. The naturalistic garden generally consists of four layers – the base layer; accent flowers; fillers like bulbs, annuals, biennials or short-lived perennials; and bold structure in the shape of ornamental grasses, shrubs and taller vertical perennials. The idea is simple: match the right plants to the right place, let them settle in and nature will do the rest.
