Whether it was new trends, inventive hacks, or classic gardening techniques making a comeback, let's not beat around the (burning) bush: 2025 has been a big year in gardening.

Some questions are practical, a few delve into the more mysterious gardening terms and trends being floated around, and others celebrate the year’s quirkiest gardening moments (we're looking at you, rubber duck hackers!).

Kayleigh is an enthusiastic (sometimes too enthusiastic!) gardener and has worked in media for over a decade. She previously served as digital editor at Stylist magazine, and has written extensively for Ideal Home, Woman & Home, Homes & Gardens, and a handful of other titles. Kayleigh is passionate about wildlife-friendly gardening, and recently cancelled her weekend plans to build a mini pond when her toddler found a frog living in their water barrel. As such, her garden – designed around the stunning magnolia tree at its centre – is filled to the brim with pollinator-friendly blooms, homemade bird feeders, and old logs for insects to nest in.
