Vertical gardening sounds like a modern term, but wall climbing vines have been doing the same thing for years. Especially in smaller, urban gardens or on balconies, a green wall can make all the difference. It’s a simple, natural way to add a little bit of wild nature to your outdoor space.
Everybody knows Orchids! Almost everybody thinks that Orchids are solely available as houseplants, but this is not the case.
A tree that stays green year-round, that’s one way to survive those last cold winter months. The citrus tree has been cultivated forever – roughly 4,000 years – and has a pleasant, sweet smell. For people with a talented green thumb, sunny garden and a little luck, you might just find some fruit hanging from the tree eventually. Our Planthunters found these trees in Italy, and immediately loved the quality and abundance of its leaves.
Want a garden that’s green all-year round and doesn’t require much effort? A green hedge that can survive different weather conditions? A boxed-leaved ilex, or Japanese holly, is your plant.
Secretly we’re all longing for those Italian hills and Spanish shorelines.
With their spectacular autumnal colours, these shrubs treat us to a whole new season. The leaves turn from green to flaming orange, fiery red, and copper brown.

When other garden flowers start losing their petals, the Aster starts blooming, until far into autumn. With its beautiful, fresh green leaves and stems, the plant looks like a wildflower, with gorgeous, strikingly bright flowers.
We know the rose as a gorgeous cut flower, but as a garden plant, the rose is even more beautiful (if that’s even possible). It’s not the easiest garden plant, but definitely the most rewarding. These three modern gardens are the perfect setting for the garden rose.
