Despite economic anxiety affecting many consumers’ shopping habits, the gardening market is holding strong and even growing in some sectors. We’ve previously covered this phenomenon here at Greenhouse Grower, but it never hurts to have a second opinion. In a recent webinar, Dianne Blazek of National Garden Bureau (NGB) discussed how “cultivating green spaces is becoming an empowering and positive response to uncertain times.” Featured experts on the panel discussion include Mike Lizotte of American Meadows, Alicain Carlson of Syngenta Flowers, Katie Dubow of Garden Media Group, and Allison Wahlig of Bejo Seeds.

This video and more can be found hosted on the National Garden Bureau YouTube channel.
