Planters and Container Garden Trends to Try for 2021

Spring Planter Trends

Planters are a great way to utilize small outdoor spaces and add accents into your landscape, and one of 2021’s top gardening trends is container gardening.

In response to the pandemic, families and young couples escaped to their landscape for exercise, stress relief, and creative outlet. Studies have shown that spending just 20 minutes outside can significantly lower stress, and reconnecting with Mother Nature in your landscape can make all the difference.

Plants Growing in Popularity

Since the start of 2021, new planting trends have been growing in the container community.

The demand for colorful containers, tropicals, dwarf citrus/fruit trees, dwarf hybrids, small shrubs, edibles, and ornamentals continues to rise in popularity.

Bold tropicals add an exotic flair with a splash of color and lush foliage, while edible elements offer a delicious reward during the growing season.
