Gardening Trends For 2008

Gardening Trends for 2008, In my own humble opinion.....

1. Home Vegetable Gardens:

Due to the ominous downturn in the economy and the growing concern of chemicals used by food manufacturers, there is resurgence or renaissance with cuisine gardens. Food and gasoline prices are going up, so reliance on domestic plantings as a food source will become the norm. Gardening, for some time has been considered more of a hobby, but will become more important as people develop into a more cautious attitude about what food they eat and where it comes from.

2. Kitchen Herb Gardens:

Indoors and outdoors will become a source for this type of garden, which will be small in size, but intricate and including unusual items. These flavourful gardens will continue to become popular as people learn how vast the choices are for herbs in which to grow and use in their food.

3. Garden Rooms:

Rooms out of doors will continue to pick up steam and people will spend more time entertaining with friends and family at home. Replacing travel with a new home patio, barbecue pit, pool, and other landscaping options is already becoming popular for a lot of folk. House decks will be utilized to the fullest and individuals will create their own version of paradise with the use of exciting new varieties of plant material, variety of planters, and weatherproof decor.
