As we step into a new season of outdoor living, it’s the perfect time to look ahead at the emerging trends shaping British gardens in 2025. At Wicked Gardens, we’re always evolving our designs to reflect the latest innovations in landscaping — while staying true to the timeless charm that Lewisham gardens are known for.

Whether you’re planning a full redesign or simply want to update your garden with modern touches, here are some of the biggest garden trends we’re embracing this year.

🌱 1. Edible Landscaping

Why choose between style and sustainability when you can have both? Edible landscaping is on the rise, and we’re seeing more homeowners blending herbs, fruit trees, and vegetables into their ornamental planting schemes.

From raised beds to vertical planters, Wicked Gardens can design productive yet beautiful garden layouts that encourage self-sufficiency — perfect for city living in Lewisham.

🪵 2. Natural Materials and Organic Shapes

In 2025, it’s all about reconnecting with nature. Expect to see:

• Stone pathways that meander like woodland trails

• Raw timber decking and fencing

• Curved borders and circular lawn areas

These organic elements create a sense of flow and tranquillity — something we love incorporating into our bespoke landscaping projects.

🌼 3. Wildlife-Friendly Design

More homeowners than ever are asking for pollinator-friendly plants, bird boxes, and bee hotels. Whether you’re in a terrace with a small garden or have a larger plot, we can build in features that support local biodiversity.

We also use peat-free compost and select native plants wherever possible — ensuring your garden is not only attractive but environmentally responsible.

🪴 4. Low-Maintenance, High-Impact Planting

Busy lifestyle? No problem. A major trend for 2025 is the use of hardy perennials, architectural grasses, and evergreens to create year-round interest with minimal upkeep.

Wicked Gardens works closely with each client to select plants that thrive in the Lewisham climate, meaning your garden looks fantastic — without demanding all your time.

💡 5. Integrated Outdoor Lighting

Subtle lighting is transforming the way we use our gardens. From solar path lights to uplighting feature trees, the right illumination enhances safety, ambience, and usability after dark.

Whether you want to highlight a water feature or light the way to your patio, we can install energy-efficient outdoor lighting that complements your garden design.
