Catherine MacDonald of Landform, designer of the Boodles Raindance Garden at Chelsea Flower Show 2025, shares her top garden trend to watch out for next year: "Increasingly I am drawn to biophilic principles in my designs - incorporating elements of nature into the built environment that can benefit the well-being of people that use the space." This highlights the growing importance of integrating nature into design for mental health benefits.
"The repetitive nature of fractals found in fern leaves and fronds can have a positive impact on our cerebral cortex. They are thought to reduce stress, enhance creativity, improve cognitive function and enhance brain connectivity, allowing the brain to relax and recharge," says Catherine. This insight underscores the scientific basis for using natural patterns in garden design.
