TO in front of the little attention with which the rulers look at the climatic crisis, an increasing ecological awareness Instead, he is taking hold among people. New tendencies oriented to sustainability and environmental responsibility emerge. Among these, a New approach to the green space of the house: whether it is a garden, a terrace or a simple balcony. Absolute trend for 2025 is for this reason the Wild Gardening, a more natural and conscious gardening.
Sustainable revolution for gardens and terraces
The 2025 marks a turning point in the world of gardeningwith a silent revolution that is changing the way in which their external spaces are designed, designed and experienced. It is no longer any more about creating aesthetically pleasant environments, but to completely rethink the approach to green in the city in a sustainable keyecological and biophilic.
Ecological gardening, is boom
The numbers that emerged during the last edition of Myplant & Gardenthe most important professional fair in Italy dedicated to vegetable-speaking, Garden and the landscape, they speak clearly: The Italian florovivaistic sector has reachedin 2024, the record value of 3.3 billion euroswith an increase of 3.5% compared to the previous year and even 30.8% in the last decade. These impressive numbers reflect an increasing interest in greenan interest which goes far beyond the simple decoration.

Wild Gardening: the new frontier of gardening
The “Wild Gardening“It represents the most significant trend of this spring, capable of detaching traditional English meadows, thirsty for water, and the geometric Italian flowerbeds. This innovative approach favors the choice of autochthonous shrubs and plantstypical of the Mediterranean scrub, naturally resistant to drought and Let it grow with minimal interventionscreating scenographic fifths on different levels.
Among the most suitable species to this model they appear Cistus, Rosmarinus, Nerium, Salvia, Phlomis, Euphorbia and various Graminaceaein addition to Cactus, Agavi and Euphorbie. For the meadows, the delicate traditional grainaceae they give way to mixture of hybrid seeds and “Wild“,, Including field flowers drought resistant such as poppies. An interesting novelty is represented by Paspalum Vaginatumwhich guarantees an irrigable dense grassy carpet even with sea water.
Biodiversity and refuge for bees, pollinators and butterflies
There Creation of “Wildlife Gardens”Then, it also means Designing spaces to attract bees, butterflies and pollinating insectsthus contributing to environmental safeguard. To guarantee, therefore, a lively and ecologically virtuous spring, This is time to buy seeds and brickens with bright colors. Among the most suitable Mediterranean species we find lavender, sage, echinaceae and thyme, perfect for attracting bees during the summer. Some bulbs, such as narcissi who bloom in this period, are also rich in nectar. For butterflies, You can place saucers with ripe and sugary fruit next to the flowering plants.
Gardening, from the growing gardens to the green borders
Innovation also concerns the cultivation methods. The “raised gardens” for gardens, terraces and balconies dominate the rankings best-selling products on e-commerce platforms. But the galvanized steel boxes are also the greatest, deep and available in different sizes, which also allow to grow “earth” vegetables such as potatoes and carrots.
Another emerging tendency is the creation of “green borders”vegetable barriers along the perimeter of the outdoor spaces that fight noise and pollution, mask aesthetically unpleasant elements and guarantee privacy. Finally, vases of different sizes, bares, stools, grids, climbing supports and Even old furniture adapted allow you to create original green walls with plants of different heights.
Towards the biophilic city
The green changes facetherefore: but, in addition to no longer conceived as a mere decorative element and to become a space to contribute to the improvement of the ecosystem, It is also organized and also used as an essential component of psychophysical well -being. The XIV edition of the Green and Landscape Festival will explore, in particular, the concept of biophilic city, characterized from rich biodiversity and design oriented to improve neurophysiological and psychological well -being through the relationship with nature.
“Every euro invested in the green is re -evaluated”
As the organizers of MyPlant & Garden 2025 point out, “the potential of green capital in facing environmental, healthy and social issues is enormous. Every euro invested in public green re -evaluated and acquires further value with benefits for the ecosystem ». Green thus becomes a climatic bulwark, anti -pollution barrier, Motor of inclusion and social securityan environmental protection element, territorial resilience factor and hydrogeological protection, custodian of biodiversity and cardinal in the urban redevelopment processes. And in this context, Wild Gardeningproposes not only as aesthetic trend, but as a philosophy of life in harmony with the natural rhythms and needs of the planet.
