Transatlantic Trends.

This article discusses current gardening trends in Europe, particularly in the UK. The author, Michael Perry, who has extensive experience in the industry, shares his observations on the evolving preferences of consumers and breeders. Some of the trends mentioned include the blurring of boundaries between houseplants and outdoor plants, the shift towards peat-free growing media, the demand for wilder-looking plants that benefit wildlife, the importance of pollinator plants, the potential fatigue with popular houseplant varieties, the increasing popularity of grasses in garden design, and the use of trees in containers. Perry emphasizes the need for retailers and growers to adapt to these trends and meet customer expectations. [Extracted from the article]
