A passion for gardening: 11 amazing, creative projects shared on Facebook

August 13, 2022

We all know that gardening is a widespread passion everywhere. It is a relaxing and, in some ways, regenerative pastime and for those lucky enough to own a house with a garden, keeping a garden impeccable can be important. Creativity in this sense helps a lot, and we are referring to a slightly broader meaning of gardening than simply taking care of the grass and the plants.

Let's talk about creative gardening - a trend that includes anything that aims to turn a garden into a splendour. There is a Facebook group called Creative Gardening which has over a million subscribers. Here, users from all over the world, who are passionate about creative gardening, proudly share their completed projects. We have selected a few, listed below, to give you an idea of what this pastime is capable of producing. And who knows, maybe you will find some ideas you would like to copy?

Sculptures made with plants and greenery are another must for those who have the skills. This installation seems to represent a bride (given the bouquet she holds in her hand), and manages to creat the impression of an elegant woman strolling through the garden.
