📈2024 Garden Trends, Stumperies & More | Garden News

[@tracythomas343]

You covered a lot of topics. I love the idea of stumperies. I have a couple of small stumps in my backyard that I could do something cool with in the spring. I think the only trend that doesn’t speak to me is the sci-fi trend. All the others have elements I can incorporate. I have to agree, although I like the color peach, it’s not a very exciting color for Pantone of the year. I follow and anticipate the announcement of the Pantone color every year. This year it’s just meh. I do love a peach colored rose though. Hope you’re having a great week! 🎄👍🏻

Hi @Tracythomas343 !!👋👋 That's really fun that you could incorporate most of the 2024 trends in to your garden. 👍 Yeah, that Pantone color is a "meh" this year. 😉😊 We hope you are having a great week, too, and thank you for your fun comment!

Ah! Maybe it's because I grew up as a goth/punk kid and I'm a horror artist, but I tend to automatically be attracted to the weird looking plants...haha! Celosia was my first one- they look like Dr. Seuss characters to me and I absolutely LOVE them! I love combining the weirdest most colorful plants I can find with the goth looking plants. My wishlist includes Black Hellebore and Tacca chantrieri (Black bat flower)! It's a conundrum for me though, because I want a native garden and some plants I want are definitely NOT native to the US! I decorate my garden with little plastic skeletons and skulls...and I make zombie garden gnomes...haha! I have them all over and started doing that in March of this year. I've mentioned in previous comments that 2023 has been my first year gardening. Everyday is Halloween for me and my garden :) I don't care if it's a trend or not, that's the way my garden will be forever...haha! I want hanging plants so bad! Our Nigel kitty would try to knock them off their hooks and probably eat them though. He's chaos in cat form, but we love him 😂 I could have some hanging on the front porch, but it gets really windy here. I live close to the Chesapeake Bay and yeah- we get a lot of gusty wind, especially in hurricane season. I'd just have to take them down on the windier days. Stumperies! 🤯I'd never heard of this wizardry before! haha! My artist brain is going all over the place now! You could use the dead stalks of Dayilies and if you have an Excalibur Yucca, use the brown star-shaped pieces from cleaning them up in combination with stumps! I got two intact star-shaped wreaths from the bottoms of my Yuccas- they look so cool! I'm gonna go plan this today! haha! I have so many neat things I can do with the dead plant parts that I've collected! Yay! Peach. Well, if I was making a mural with flowers, it could be used as a skin color. Not my favorite, but it's a pretty color. Ok- off to creating stumperies! Have an easy one!

I am excited to play with stumpery and want to go see the stumpery at the rhododendron garden in Federal Way. I never even knew it was there! I think peach is okay but I usually stick with pink, purple, blue and white with touches if soft yellow. Fun episode! Thank you!

[@SpokenGarden]

Your visit to the Rhody Gardy in Fed-Way sounds like lots of fun! Than you for sharing and for watching!! 😊😀

I really want to try strawberries in big pots. I saw that during a visit to Canada last year. A restaurant had big planters outside with strawberries trailing down from them and it looked so pretty. And... I really wanted to pick those ripe strawberries but I resisted the urge! 🤣

[@SpokenGarden]

You should definitely try that!! 🍓Thanks for watching!

[@trishferrer8209]

PEACH! I knew it! I love this color for flowers. Not so much for walls, but hey... I could change my mind! Peach is akin to terra cotta / clay pots.

[@SpokenGarden]

We love the color for flowers, too!

I guess I'm ahead of the game. I went peach last spring when I redid my garden for the 2023 Puyallup garden tour my yard was in. I planted the Desert Eve Terracotta Achillea with Mango Tango Agastache along the border of my deck.. spot on, it was beautiful! Looking forward to seeing the established version this spring and summer.

[@SpokenGarden]

That sounds beautiful!! 🍑

The most famous stumpery is at High Grove in King Charles garden. It's gorgeous! It's huge and definitely provides habitat. I'd love to have one.

[@SpokenGarden]

We just looked at it online...wow! There's a huge stumpery here in Washington state that we want to go visit. Very cool!

[@mapndo2337]

My dear friends....peachy just peachy 🍑😅😂

[@SpokenGarden]

Nice, Marc! 😅😅 We see what you did there. Thanks for watching!

[@aspiringviolinist5732]

Love the peach color!! Maybe my peaches will produce an abundance of fruit since they are Pantone color of the year! David Austin has some apricot roses that fade to cream. Stumperies scare me, perfect spot for snakes to hide! 🫣

[@SpokenGarden]

Hoping for lots of peaches for you this year! 😅 And, good point about the stumperies!

[@gwendolynneuhauser9070]

I love the idea of a stumpery!! And I actually have stumps in my yard that I could use. I'm totally going to play with this idea and see what I can create. :)

[@SpokenGarden]

That sounds fun!! Can't wait to hear what you create!
