What's New is Old
Garden Media Group's 2025 Trends
Report carried a unifying theme of Nature's
Renaissance, which highlights the drive to
reintegrate natural elements into our lives,
landscapes and cities. Case in point, the annual
report's Lived-in Gardens trend follows this
theme, asserting that home gardeners will be
interested in establishing gardens that look like
they've stood the test of time.
According to the report, these full-looking
gardens are " a delightful shift from the pristine
and untouched toward a more genuine,
seasoned aesthetic.

" The appeal of lived-in gardens goes beyond
mere aesthetics. According to recent research
from Virginia Tech, a well-landscaped home
can enjoy up to a 12.7% increase in property
value. That translates into a significant financial
advantage - potentially an additional $38,100
on a $300,000 property. "
Garden Media Group suggests home gardeners
can achieve this look by planting multiples of
each plant - at least two - to provide a more
grown-in look. In addition, big trees and native,
climbing and long-blooming plants can create
this aesthetic.
Improved Plant Health
Homeowners continue to be concerned about the safety of
lawn fertilizers for people, pets, wildlife and the environment.
" Homeowners remain concerned about the safety of lawn
fertilizers, " said Mike Reiber, CEO
of Minneapolis-based marketing
firm Axiom Marketing. " Customers
turn to reading the back of the
packaging to identify ingredients
in the products to " help form their
definitions of safety. "

report found that two out of
three (70%) respondents were
concerned or highly concerned
about lawn fertilizers polluting
lakes, streams and rivers, and
61.5% were concerned about
applications of lawn fertilizers and
pesticides in nearby yards, parks,
sports fields and golf courses.
When it comes to using
fertilizers at home, nearly half
(47.6%) of respondents said
they use natural/organic lawn
fertilizers, and 25.6% said they
want to try them.
The report also revealed
that the top two most credible
information sources for natural
fertilizers are independent garden
centers (53.7%), followed by
university Extension/county
agents (43.5%).
