The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) has released its forecast of key gardening trends for 2025, highlighting a continued evolution in how people are engaging with their gardens and outdoor spaces. According to the PHS Gardeners’ Blog, the upcoming year will see a rise in several significant trends, reflecting a growing interest in sustainability, personal well-being, and creative expression in the garden.

One prominent trend is the increasing focus on eco-friendly gardening practices. Gardeners are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact, seeking out sustainable solutions like water conservation techniques, reduced-waste gardening methods, and a preference for peat-free and organic options.

Gardening for well-being remains a central theme, with people turning to their gardens as a sanctuary for stress relief and mental health. This trend emphasizes creating peaceful and restorative garden spaces that promote relaxation and mindfulness.

Creative container gardening is also expected to flourish. With more people living in urban environments or smaller spaces, container gardens offer versatile and accessible ways to grow plants. The focus is on innovative and artistic container arrangements to maximize beauty and functionality in limited areas.

Incorporating technology in gardening is another trend gaining momentum. From smart watering systems to apps that aid in plant identification and care, technology is becoming increasingly integrated into gardening practices to enhance efficiency and knowledge.

Finally, bold and vibrant color palettes are predicted to be popular in 2025 gardens. Moving beyond traditional greens, gardeners are expected to embrace brighter and more diverse color schemes in their plant choices and garden designs, adding a sense of energy and personality to their outdoor spaces.
