HortWeek FUTURE PLANTS SURVEY: which plants will be in most demand in the coming years?

HortWeek has launched a major survey to find out how plant demand is changing in the UK.

The future of plants

At a time of unprecendented change, horticulturists are negotiating multiple push and pull factors in deciding what plants to grow, sell and plant.

From climate change to import pressures, from plants for pollinators to growing peat-free, growers, garden retailers and landscape contractors and designers are having to adapt to fast-moving trends and changes that are largely out of their hands.

So what are the growth areas for plants in garden centres and landscape schemes?

Has demand changed in recent years and do you think it will change again?

Which plants will be most in demand? Will some go out of favour? And will you change what you grow?


Let us know in this anonymous and brief survey and you could win a £100 John Lewis voucher!

NB: Please complete the survey by 14 November to qualify.
