Sustainable Gardening: A Commitment to Eco-Friendly Practices

Sustainability remains a driving force in garden design. Experts emphasize the importance of:

• Incorporating native plants to support local biodiversity.
• Utilizing composting to reduce waste and improve soil health.
• Harvesting rainwater to conserve resources.
• Reducing chemical use for healthier ecosystems.
• Designing gardens that actively support pollinators and wildlife.

Vertical Gardening: Maximizing Space with Style

Vertical gardens continue to rise in popularity, particularly in urban and small-space gardening. These gardens:

• Utilize walls and vertical structures for plant growth.
• Optimize limited spaces by expanding upward rather than outward.
• Add a modern, visually striking element to any environment.

Naturalistic Designs: Bold, Textured, and Wildlife-Friendly

A shift toward organic, lived-in landscapes is reshaping the aesthetics of modern gardens. Key elements include:

• Naturalistic layouts that embrace wild beauty.
• The use of bold colors and rich textures to create immersive outdoor spaces.
• Integrating low-water landscaping to enhance sustainability.
• Designing gardens as functional living spaces for both people and wildlife.

Among various styles, Zen gardens remain a favorite, incorporating stone sculptures and abstract fountains to foster tranquility and mindfulness.

 Social Media’s Role in Gardening Inspiration

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society highlights the impact of gardening influencers in 2025. According to trendspotter Andrew Bunting, platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest are shaping modern gardening practices. Leading influencers include:

There are rooms in the house that have very little or no light. Some common examples are the bathroom, closets, basement, living room, among others. There are also offices that do not have any type of windows and make us feel in a cold environment or that the hours do not pass.  To have plants in these spaces, irrigation and humidity are key to caring for plants without light.  It is also important to have an adequate and well-drained substrate.

Irrigation and humidity are essential aspects to keep plants healthy without light or with some type of artificial light. Although these plants do not receive direct sunlight, they need an adequate level of humidity to thrive. It is very important to fertilize every 10 to 15 days so that the plant can obtain the nutrients it needs for its growth process.

Humidifiers and artificial light can help you grow them in these closed spaces. There are countless humidifiers and lights on the market that can help you with the growth of your plants.  I know that this topic is a challenge for our clients, which is why we recommend this list of 6 indoor plants ideal for spaces with little light or without windows:

1. Sansevieria (Mother-in-law's Tongue): This plant is extremely hardy and can survive in low light conditions. In addition, it does not need to be watered frequently, which makes it ideal for closed spaces.
2. Zamioculca (ZZ): ZZ plant is perfect for low-light interiors. Its bright, green leaves provide a tropical touch, and it can tolerate drought, being low maintenance.
3. Aglaonema: It is a plant that thrives in low light environments and does not require too much water. Its variegated leaves add a decorative touch to any space.
4. Bird's Nest Fern: Although many varieties of ferns need high humidity and indirect light, the Bird's Nest can adapt well to spaces with less light, as long as an adequate level of humidity is maintained.
5. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum): One of the most popular plants for dark interiors. It is very hardy, easy to care for and can grow in a variety of light conditions. Additionally, it is excellent for purifying the air.
6. Philodendron (Philodendron): Adapts to various conditions, including low light. Its vine-shaped growth makes it ideal for decorating shelves or walls.

These plants are not only easy to care for in low-light spaces, but they also add a natural and relaxing touch to any environment.
