Containers and water storage – storing rainfall
Water-wise gardening is becoming second nature, as people become more mindful of water use. After many parts of the UK experienced hosepipe bans last year, collecting and reusing rainwater has become vital. It reduces reliance on tap water and can help lower water bills, if you’re on a metered supply.
For larger gardens, the green basics rainbarrel plus stores 200 litres of rainwater and comes with a sturdy stand, tap and a planter on top. Smaller spaces will make good use of the green basics rain catcher. Perfect for balconies or small gardens, it holds 35 litres of water with an overflow and tap. The stylish pure raindrop rainbarrel combines trendy design with practicality, storing 70 litres of water. These smart, sustainable solutions make everyday watering greener and easier.
Affordable luxury and timeless calm
There’s a trend for affordable luxury indoors, with practicality, timelessness and elegance being key. Soft curves, natural textures and muted tones inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design help create calm, balanced spaces that work indoors or out.
The premium collection brings this trend to life. The amber series adds bold, statement-making shapes, from the soft contours of the amber beads to the striking amber roll.
The june range offers clean, elegant lines and versatile forms. June tulip, june split and june brick divider are perfect for patios, gardens or houseplants. The eden collection’s soft, organic silhouettes come in soft taupe and linen white. The 40cm pot features the Aquacare system to keep plants watered with minimal effort.
Containers and water storage – grow your own
The popularity of grow your own continues, but this year it’s all about convenience, accessibility and making it part of everyday life. Compact, tabletop and raised solutions fit almost anywhere. Herbs on the kitchen windowsill, salad leaves on the balcony or strawberries on the patio make growing feel accessible, even for beginners.
Raised designs like the noa grow table make it simple to cultivate fruit, vegetables and herbs at a comfortable working height. Smart features such as an integrated water reservoir and grow house help plants thrive. For fruit lovers, the green basics strawberry pot keeps berries off the ground and watered. The bouncy basil pot ensures herbs stay fresh without waterlogged roots. For those interested in starting from scratch, the green basics seed tray keeps seedlings healthy.
Through thoughtful design and materials that last, elho shows how gardening can be stylish, practical and mindful of the environment. All elho products are made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, produced using renewable energy and are fully recyclable. This reflects the growing trend for spaces that combine beauty, functionality and lasting sustainability.
