Lush greens

Shades and textures of green is a big garden trend. Lush green plants of all different sizes, shapes and colours will make you feel like you are in a tropical paradise in the comfort of your own back garden. To highlight the different greens, use muted colours for your decking, fencing or furniture, allowing the plants to steal the show.
