Fashion trends are changing, and 25 categories of products are out of fashion

Home gardening has boomed around the world in recent years due to the pandemic lockdown, but the trend was already positive in Europe and the United States long before the pandemic .

The increase in gardening activities has naturally promoted the rapid development of related industries. According to statistics from market research firm OnePoll , since the outbreak, British consumers have spent an average of £1,732 on gardening necessities such as seeds and tools .

For Europeans and Americans, a garden is an overall expression of a family's aesthetic taste . 34% of the respondents said that planning time for gardening activities is necessary, and the vast majority of the respondents said that they spend nearly two and a half hours a week taking care of their family gardens.

In addition, 31% of respondents would like to have an area dedicated to growing fruit and vegetables , 27% would refuse to hang a trampoline in the garden , and 15% would like to see less over-pruning .

Entering the post-epidemic era, consumers' aesthetic tastes have also changed with the development of the times. In the volatile market and economic environment , which horticultural products have been eliminated, and which are becoming the "new stars" in the horticultural industry ?

In the UK, for example, trampolines and artificial grass are out , as are anything with orange wood stain, wind chimes, fake animals, Buddha statues , plastic ornaments , recycled tires and artificial mowing balls .

Meanwhile, fruit trees, composting areas and greenhouses are becoming regulars on consumer gardening shopping lists , and new gardening trends such as bird feeders, bird baths, hanging baskets and water features are becoming popular .
