Future of Gardening

<p>Now more than anytime in our recent past, homeowners have taken to their gardens as a source of fresh food, exercise and beauty. As an industry we have to look at this momentum, make adjustments and plan for the future. In a recent survey conducted by the <a href="https://ngb.org">National Garden Bureau</a>, they helped provide some insights on what's important to gardeners. What are they growing, why they're growing, what they are looking for in their local garden centers and more.</p><p>For the green industry, the survey helps uncover new opportunities and sheds some light on where we should be focusing our communication, products and services. As a means to help sustain this robust momentum and interest in gardening and landscapes, for years to come.</p><p>Joining us for this episode is <strong>Diane Blasek</strong>, director of two non-profits, <a href="https://ngb.org">National Garden Bureau</a> and <a href="https://all-americaselections.org" target="_blank">All-American Selections</a> to review the findings, what they mean and what the industry can takeaway from it. </p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST</strong><br />Diane Blasak at National Garden Bureau blog - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ProvenWinners">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/nationalgarden" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.</p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH US</strong><br />Enjoy this episode or have questions?
