I have seen some cool landscape design trends in Sydney which give the yard a real personality. As I dig up ways to renew my personal outdoor space, I see more and more people switching to local species. They look great and perfectly fit in our climate while promoting local fauna. I even found some great insights from Gardeners in Sydney who specialise in this!

Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living spaces are a game-changer. I have seen:

• Patios and decks: Space to lounge or dine.

• Fire pits: bring family and friends together on chilly evenings.

• Cosy nooks: surrounded by greenery that leaves you some sort of peaceful retreat. These spaces really encourage you to be outside, and I love how inviting they feel.

Vertical Gardening

For people with little space, vertical gardening is fantastic. I have been inspired by

• Green walls: herbs and flowers.

• Trellises: These hold climbing plants for greater height and drama.

• Planters: stacked for a small garden on any wall you have.

It is so much fun to use what you already have!

Water Features

Water features make a yard into that sweet retreat. Here are some things I've discovered:

• Small fountains: for soothing sounds.

• A small pond: For birds and butterflies.

• Rills: For that gentle water flow, they are just so charming.
