Featuring the Recycled Self-Watering Capri Plant Pot (RRP from £16.99)
The UK drought is expected to carry on into 2023, and even worsen depending on the rainfall. This leaves gardeners old and new in a watering predicament of when to water, and what to plant. Our Capri Recycled Plastic Self-Watering Planters were noted in The Independent in the Top 10 of Self Watering Planters in 2022 and can help remove some of the stress of your watering worries.
The Eco-Friendly, Italian made planter is suited for both indoor and outdoor use, and represents a larger movement of sustainability in the Gardening Sphere. Consumers are becoming more empowered within their purchasing power, as they harness and understand more knowledge about their gardens and thei personal footprint on our planet. As the trend grows toward earth-friendly materials, the Capri planter provides an accessible eco starting point for novice and experienced gardeners alike.

Further along into Sustainability, being able to harvest crops of your own, in an accessible and pleasntly aesthetic way will be a large direction we encounter regularly into the new season.

Fashionably, traditional Mediterranean style gardens paired with the classic burnt orange Terracotta will be an aesthetic trend pulled into the Summer season. Make a sustainable (and frugal!) swap by using Recycled Plastic Terracotta.
A fantastic, Italian made, lightweight alternative that is 100% recyclable and a perfect penny-pinching alternative to a large true terracotta pot. Pictured is our Gardenesque Recycled Terracotta (RRP from £59.99).

Originally a micro-trend, it originated from the idyllic conception of idolized rural life, Cottagecore emerged firstly online in 2018 and made it's way to the Gardening Community, firmly trending in 2021 and progressing ever since.
Naturally, the trend is evolving and expanding and shows no signs of stopping into 2023. Our Hedgehog House (RRP £29.99) and Four Floor Insect Hotel (RRP £32.99) fit in beautifully with the trend, whilst accomodating your little creatures that scurry around your garden. Embracing the Wildlife that naturally occurs in your environment is a great way to ensure that your plants will also thrive throughout the seasons.
Overall, Spring and Summer 2023 is shaping up to be a remarkable season for the seasoned gardener, or the eager newcomer - the focus on accessibility and sustainability wrapping itself in beautiful garden aesthetic will be knocking down barriers between having a wonderful garden and saving the planet!
