Speaker: Erica Grivas, award-winning garden journalist

Garden trends don’t move in a straight line. Why do some fade quickly while others persist? In this session, a national garden journalist presents a curated roundup of garden trends showing signals of staying power, drawn from reporting and industry observation. We will examine the forces shaping these trends from climate, economic, and lifestyle shifts to cultural demand and consider how growers, wholesalers, and retailers can use these signals to inform plant selection, sourcing, and merchandising decisions.
