The US also ranked among the top three nations in terms of the highest level of gardening frequency captured in the study. Specifically, 8% of respondents reported engaging in gardening every day or most days. (1)

2. 72 million or 55% of American households were involved in some type of gardening activity in 2020

In a study by Scotts Miracle-Gro and Wakefield in 2020, 55% of all US households were engaged in gardening activities, and another 20% planned to do so soon.

Based on this, we can deduce that 72 million gardening households were gardening at the time of this research, according to census data. (2) This also means that over 185 million people in the United States were enjoying the joys of gardening! (20)

3. 18.3 million new gardeners sprouted during the COVID-19 pandemic

The 2021 National Gardening Survey survey confirms that gardening participation was way up, with 18.3 million new gardeners documented from this national sample.

According to National Gardening Association Executive Director Dave Whitinger, “Taken together, the surveys paint a full picture of the current boom in gardening and an analysis of possible future trends. While the gardening industry can expect another strong year in 2021, as the nation emerges from the pandemic, there are clouds on the gardening horizon.” (8)

The 2022 Gardening Trends Report echoes this statement, too. They say that 75% of these new gardeners will keep on growing even post-pandemic. (15)

The gardening market surpassed $100 billion in 2020 and is expected to experience steady growth. The global garden equipment and supplies market is predicted to reach nearly $130 billion by 2024. (5)

According to an article by the National Association of Landscape Professionals, Garden Research conducted a survey back in 2018 showing that American adults collectively invested a total of around $48 billion in 2018 just on gardening and lawn equipment and supplies! (22)

5. 35% of US households, or 67% of American adults, are growing edible plants

The National Library of Medicine shared that a study by the National Gardening Association revealed that 35% of American households in the US grew their own edible plants or food.

Per the article, “Gardening can not only encourage a more nutritious diet and increased physical activity but also has the potential to address food access and food security, especially when fresh produce may not be available or accessible due to cost and distance.” (17)

An article by Tips Bulletin, a website that focuses on providing tips, hacks, and DIY solutions for various aspects of home and garden care, cleaning, and organization, also zooms in on this phenomenon, stating that 67% of American adults started growing or are planning to grow edible plants in 2024. Apart from this, 42% have even already started growing their own produce! (18)

6. 39.1 million American households engaged in vegetable gardening in 2020

According to a study by Statista in collaboration with Garden Research, an impressive 39.1 million households in the United States engaged in vegetable gardening in 2020. (3)

This directly correlates with the COVID-19 pandemic, as millions were stuck at home with nothing to do. It was also challenging to go out and buy their own produce, so vegetable home gardening is one of the more accessible options.

7. Tiny edible plants were trending in 2021

In the 2021 Gardening Trends Report, they highlight the popularity of tiny plants, too. The smallest plants grow the fastest, and this is one of the main reasons behind the popularity of edible plants.

However, beyond 2022, Home Depot has maintained its crown as America’s go-to garden and plant supply store. This could be clearly seen in Axiom’s 2024 Gardening Outlook Survey. (26)

30. Gardeners prefer online learning from local garden centers and podcasts and webinars a lot more than other platforms

46. The most hated gardening chore is weeding

According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, weeding is the most hated of all garden chores.

When one thinks of “weeding,” words like “endless,” “never-ending,” and “overwhelming” are common adjectives that are top-of-mind. Weeding also takes a lot of time and focus, making it a very tedious activity. (13)

In a 2022 article, Moowy, an online lawn equipment and materials shop, referred to weeding as “the most thankless of garden chores.” It’s because a gardener would spend countless hours weeding and cleaning out their garden, only for them to turn their back on it for a while, then look back to see that numerous weeds have already grown back. (23)

Atlas Ceramics has revealed that garden gnomes are the most popular garden trend in 2022. Despite being considered unfashionable and kitsch, these figurines are making a comeback. (14)
