Tearing up your front lawn and its flower beds in favour of a gravel garden with low-maintenance grasses might not seem that appealing. But homeowners are expected to make changes like this next year as more of us install electric vehicle charging points, experts say.

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) predicts a number of other eco-minded gardening trends for 2025, some of which will help us cope with extreme conditions caused by climate change. This includes 'sponge city' planting – where gardens are created in urban spaces to protect against heavy rain and flooding – as well as more green roofs and walls to help cool buildings and improve air quality.
The predictions, based on input from gardeners, experts and growers, also include a move away from traditional bedding plants towards less thirsty varieties that can cope with prolonged dry spells in summer. Pictured: The eco-friendly changes you can make to your garden in 2025.
Salvias, heather and dahlias, all of which are drought-tolerant, were particularly popular in 2024. Guy Barter, RHS chief horticulturist, said: 'The electric vehicle revolution could usher in significant changes to what front gardens look like, while city centres could be punctuated by many more growing spaces that serve the dual purpose of providing refuge for people and wildlife but also all-important flood proofing capabilities.'.
