I generally don't follow trends but simply follow my own impulses when planning out my garden. I couldn't resist however to check on what has been 'declared' as this year's trend. If you are curious well look up this website.

So, I'm scratching my head here? Haven't we all been gardening this way for years now? Are we gardeners now considered trendy? Have a look at the site and perhaps have a little chuckle.
