What's New in the Gardening Industry in 2020

There are many gardening styles to choose this year. Although minimalist plants are trendy, you can still have a stylish garden with hanging pots and potted plants. Mini meadows made up of perennials and grasses can be used in urban or man-made settings. Miniatures can make your outdoor area a unique entertainment area in the summer, and they have numerous health benefits. Here are the most recent trends.

Going green is another trend in gardening. You can cut down on water costs by planting low-water-using species in your garden. Native plants can be a great way to help your ecosystem, reduce food waste, and support pollinators. The growing demand of low-maintenance flowers is another important trend. You will have a garden that is both beautiful, and also pollinator-friendly if you use native plants.

In the next years, edible gardening is set to grow in popularity. According to a report by Garden Media Group, the number of followers and engagements for edible gardening influencers has increased 400 percent. 67% of those surveyed intend to start growing edibles within five years. Gardeners of the future will find new and exciting trends in this industry. So what are your options? These are the 2020 gardening trends

People are more open to the idea of vertical gardens as a way to plant. Vertical gardens can be attached to a structure or hang from balconies. There are many new warm-weather perennials now on the market, including coleus faucaria and faucaria. Colors are also important this year, especially pastels. The new trend is to add native pollinators in your garden. These pollinators are vital for agricultural production and ecosystems.

The preservation of wildlife is another growing trend in gardening. Gardeners are more concerned about keeping wildlife and birds happy than ever, especially with the recent bird flu pandemic in the United States. More people are creating habitats to help protect native animals and increase local bird populations. This will save you a lot time and effort. For a better yard, follow these trends.

For the 21st-century, water-saving plants should also be considered. Water is a finite resource. People are being paid to take out water-hungry plants and plant native ones in cities like Las Vegas. In addition to water-wise plants, California has seen the worst drought in a century. Some areas ban outdoor watering. Saguaros as well as English-style gardens are out of place in areas like Arizona and London.

FAQ

Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.

You might be wondering if you have enough space to grow a vegetable garden if you don't have one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning.
