It makes use of swathes of grasses and perennials that add movement, texture and colour, combining indigenous and exotic water wise varieties.<\/p>\n<p>In South Africa, succulents should not be left out of the mix and thanks to them we have developed our own style of naturalistic planting, together with indigenous grasses and perennials such as agapanthus, wild irises, kniphofias, crocosmia, indigenous daisies, gaura, daylilies, and salvia.<\/p>\n<p>While naturalistic gardens appear to be wild and free, they actually need careful planning and placing to achieve the desired effect. However, once established they are low on maintenance and sustainable, needing only to be tidied up in winter or spring. It\u2019s all about diversity, working with nature and local conditions, letting nature take the lead. The fun part is when plants self-seed and each season brings new surprises.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36674\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36674 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-05-01-2024-gardening-garden-trends-photo-4-002.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naturalistic planting including succulents<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re going vertical &#8230; <\/strong>with indoor plants that trail or climb.
