Whether they’re inside your home, on your balcony or in your (large) garden – plants have always needed water, protection and care. However, to ensure that you tend to your plants in a contemporary, ecologically sound and optimal way, it is worth thinking about alternatives to watering cans and chemicals. It is both easy and cost-effective to find specific and sustainable solutions to the three aspects of proper plant care. 

The coronavirus pandemic has shown us how important home becomes in times of crisis. Restrictions on our freedom of movement heighten our perception of our home as a place of sanctuary, where we feel safe and secure. In its latest report on living trends for 2021, the Zukunftsinstitut identified the trend of home suite home – the desire for creating open spaces within one’s own home as an expression of the mega-trends of individualisation and security. GARDENA presents ways of achieving this and provides an overview of the key outdoor living trends for 2021.

A recent study by Gardena* shows that it’s not just passionate and experienced plant lovers who dream of a garden of their own. Both in large cities and elsewhere, young people are increasingly longing for somewhere green. As most people aged 25 to 34 see gardens primarily as a place to recharge, there’s also a growing interest in smart gardening tools that make garden upkeep easier.
