If you’re thinking about improving your outdoor space this year, there’s no better place to find inspiration than the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 — taking place this week in London.

For homeowners, sellers and landlords in Farnham, beautifully presented gardens continue to play an important role in creating strong first impressions and adding appeal to a property. Outdoor spaces have become increasingly important for buyers and tenants alike, with well-designed gardens often helping homes stand out in the local market.

Suzi Fearn from Keats Fearn Estate Agents Farnham will be attending the show on Friday to explore the latest garden design trends, outdoor living ideas and practical inspiration that Farnham homeowners can bring into their own spaces.

Chelsea Flower Show Garden Trends for 2026

This year’s show is expected to highlight:

  • Naturalistic planting and wildflower schemes
  • Sustainable, low-maintenance gardens
  • Outdoor entertaining and dining areas
  • Wildlife-friendly planting
  • Courtyard and small garden ideas
  • Water-wise planting for sunny spaces
  • Stylish patios and multifunctional outdoor areas

These trends are increasingly influencing what buyers and renters are looking for across Farnham, Surrey and the surrounding villages.

Why Gardens Matter When Selling or Letting a Property in Farnham

At Keats Fearn Estate Agents Farnham, we regularly see how attractive outdoor spaces can help create stronger interest from buyers and tenants.

Simple improvements such as:

  • Fresh planting
  • Defined seating areas
  • Tidy lawns and borders
  • Outdoor lighting
  • Painted fencing and updated patios

can make a significant difference when preparing a property for sale or let.

With summer approaching, now is an ideal time for Farnham homeowners and landlords to maximise the appeal of their gardens before bringing a property to market.
