What's New in the Gardening Industry in 2020
There are many gardening styles to choose this year. Minimalist plants have been in vogue, but you still can create an attractive and stylish garden using potted plants and hanging containers. Mini meadows of grasses and perennials are right at home in urban and man-made environments. Miniatures can transform your outdoor space into a place of entertainment in the summer and have many health benefits. These are the latest trends that you need to be aware.
Going green is another growing trend in gardening. You can save money on water by using low-water-using plants in your garden. For example, planting native plants can help your ecosystem by reducing food waste and supporting pollinators. Another trend that you should be aware of is the growing demand for low-maintenance flowers and plants. A garden that is beautiful and healthy will be possible by using native plants and pollinator friendly plants.
In the next few years, edible gardening will also be popular. According to a report by Garden Media Group, the number of followers and engagements for edible gardening influencers has increased 400 percent. 67% of adults surveyed plan to grow their own edibles within the next five year. Gardeners of the future will find new and exciting trends in this industry. Don't wait! These are the top gardening trends for 2020.
More people are turning to vertical gardens for ideas in planting. These vertical gardens can either be rooted in a structure, or they can hang from balconies. A new range of warm-weather perennials is now available, including coleus as well as faucaria Tigrina. The importance of colors is also high this year, particularly pastels. New trend: Native pollinators can be added to your garden to help maintain ecosystems and increase agricultural production.
A third gardening trend is conserving wildlife. 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. This will save you a lot time and effort. Just remember to keep up with these trends to make your yard a more attractive place to live.
Water-saving plants are also an important consideration for the 21st century. Water is limited. Cities like Las Vegas have begun paying people to remove water-hungry grass and replace it with native plants. California has been experiencing the worst drought since 1900. Some areas ban outdoor watering. Saguaros as well as English-style gardens are out of place in areas like Arizona and London.
