What's New in Gardening in 2020
You have many options when it comes to gardening trends this year. While minimalist plants are popular, you can still create a beautiful garden with potted plants or hanging pots. Mini meadows made up of perennials and grasses can be used in urban or man-made settings. Miniatures are a great way to make your outdoor space a fun and unique place to entertain in the summer. They also have many health benefits. These are some of the hottest trends to keep you informed.
Green gardening is another popular trend. You can save money on water by using low-water-using plants in your garden. By planting native plants in your garden, you can improve the ecosystem and reduce food waste as well as support pollinators. A growing demand for low maintenance flowers and plants is another trend to be aware. The best way to have a beautiful garden is to use pollinator-friendly and native plants.
The popularity and acceptance of edible gardening is predicted to increase in the coming years. 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 will be excited by the latest trends in the future. So what are you waiting? These are the 2020 gardening trends
Vertical gardens are becoming more popular as an option for planting ideas. These vertical gardens can be rooted in to a structure and can hang from balconies. A new range of warm-weather perennials is now available, including coleus as well as faucaria Tigrina. 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 increasingly interested in keeping birds and other wildlife happy after the US bird flu pandemic. People are creating habitats that help native animals and increase bird population. By incorporating these trends into your gardening plans, you can save yourself a lot of time and effort. These trends will help you make your yard more attractive.
It is important to consider water-saving plants for the 21st Century. The supply of potable water is limited. Cities like Las Vegas have begun paying people to remove water-hungry grass and replace it with native plants. In addition to water-wise plants, California has seen the worst drought in a century. Some areas have banned outdoor watering. Saguaros as well as English-style gardens are out of place in areas like Arizona and London.
