Get ready to revamp your green space with the hottest garden trends for 2024, as predicted by Garden Media Group. Get ready for futuristic terrariums, neon blooms, insect-inspired decor, and a surprising appreciation for the dark side of gardening!

1. Zoom Out: Gen Z is reshaping the industry, favoring sustainable products, unique pieces with stories, and online shopping. Influencers hold sway, so cater to their preferences!

2. Horti-Futurism: Embrace sci-fi vibes with closed ecosystems, neon or metallic colors, and futuristic designs. Plants with bright variegation or silver hues, like the ‘Sterling Moon’ Lunar Lights Begonia, add extra pizzazz.

3. Delight in the Dark: Goth gardens, Victorian style, and “tombstone tourism” are on the rise. Up-lit trees, curated dark-hued pottery, and even untidy, withered plants add to the moody mystique. Consider the ‘Black Prince’ Snapdragon or the Black Cherry Floribunda Rose for a touch of drama.

4. Bugging Out: Insects are taking center stage! Pollinator-friendly plants, bug-themed decor, and even insect taxidermy are all the rage. Educational workshops and insect-loving jewelry add to the buzz.

5. Hanging in There: Small-space gardening reigns supreme! String of pearls, pothos, and cherry tomatoes are perfect for containers and balconies. Check out the ‘Midnight’ and ‘Sapphire Cascade’ blueberries for a pop of color.

6. Nature Calls: Sustainability and community are key. Embrace “chaos gardens” with native plants, carbon-capturing trees, and urban canopies. It’s time to rebel against manicured lawns and reconnect with nature!

7. Color of the Year: Cyber Lime: This “punchy near-neon” symbolizes the connection between nature and technology. Lime green flowers and foliage, like the ‘Wedding Gown’ Hydrangea or the ‘Lemon-Lime’ Nandina, add a vibrant spark to any space.

These are just a few of the exciting trends set to bloom in 2024. So, unleash your inner garden guru and get ready to create a green space that’s as unique and vibrant as you are!
