Spring Gardening Trends
The long winter is now in the past. Spring brings new opportunities for garden lovers. Most people are busy thinking about warming themselves while blockhead gardeners are planning how to shovel snow off their yard. Let's go over the trends in spring gardening for the year 2025.
Minimal Scenario Gardenin
Small gardens are easier to maintain and are becoming popular. People in cities have embraced the idea of having gardens wherever possible. They convert balconies, tiny patios, and even rooftops into greeneries. Space is saved with the use of vertical gardening, raised beds, and well-designed planters. Commonly grown succulents, flowering plants, and herbs enhance the yard's color without taking up a lot of space.
Another plant to keep in mind for the small space is the Creeping Jenny. It is a perennial plant that produces low foliage, providing a stunning green cover or a bit of golden-yellow color. Apart from these, petunias and geraniums are low flowering plants that will surely add color to any container garden.
Spring Bloomers Are The New Trend
During spring, The TN Nursery gets requests for perennials, blooming trees, and blooming shrubs. Spring bloomers, like daffodils, tulips, and dogwoods, are stunning as well as dramatic additions to any springtime garden. These bloomers are well-suited for anyone who wants to add a touch of spring to their garden.
As beautiful as these spring bloomers are, gardeners need to pay attention to the timing of their bloom. These beauties can be purchased early, and their blooming beauties can be seen as early as spring, but must be planted when the temperature is consistently forty degrees or higher. Otherwise, there is a mid-freezing temperature risk. They can and should remain in cold storage until the blooming beauties can be successfully planted.
Prepare The Land Ahead Of Time
Buying new plants for spring isn’t the only thing a person can do. As early as spring, a gardener is able to prepare the soil. Most inexperienced gardeners ignore this step, but it affects the garden the most. The soil must be in proper condition to any of the prep work, and can be done by shouldering the work of tilling, and getting any weeds.
Before we plant anything, we need to apply soils rich in nutrients to the cleared land. Unlike the common practice of fertilization months in advance, the fertilizers need to be applied right at the time of planting. At TN Nursery, we plant soybeans and wheat for the six weeks preceding the planting season to make sure the soils are properly enriched for the next planting cycle.
Buying Supplies Ahead of Time
In the springs, the gardener must anticipate a number of supplies, be it soils, gardening tools, or fertilizers. It is good practice to buy these materials in the months preceding planting. This saves the gardener money as the shipping cost is minimized. In addition to having your gardening tools ready, planning ahead saves time during the peak gardening season.
Water and Fire Features
Another trend for 2025 is putting in plants and relaxed waters with gentle bubbling next to garden fire pits or outdoor fireplaces. Water in ponds and small streams or water fountains together with gentle water cascades can bring a relaxed poetic feeling to any garden or poetry for the soul. It is the perfect addition to evening gatherings or if you want something special to your landscape and ambiance for cozy spheres, outdoor fireplaces and gentle bubbling water, and fire pits can bring affection for the warmth of a cozy evening.
Indoor Gardening Options
Besides outdoor gardening, which is the focus of spring, in every portion of the home, the role of indoor plants is also included. People tend to brighten up their home with indoor plants for home decoration and uplift the surrounding air. For spring, peace lilies, spider plants, and succulents are usually used. They are perfect for home or office since along with boosting the aesthetics, improve nit dead air to a significant quality.
Office spaces that are welcoming their employees back can be better enhanced with indoor plants that add a scent to the space. Lavender and jasmine are wonderful examples of uplifting fragrant plants that bring the mood and cheer to the workspace, making the environment feel more welcoming and uplifted.

FAQs
What is the 70/30 rule in gardening?
The 70/30 rule steps out your garden layout. It means that 70% of your garden space should be dedicated to perennials and the remaining 30% to annuals. In this way, your garden will be colorful and lively while remaining relatively easy to maintain.
What is the garden trend in 2025?
The garden trend in 2025 is expected to center around sustainable and eco-friendly gardening. This means more gardeners will be using native plants, using less water, and practicing organic gardening. Also, there is an increase in interest in small space gardening, incorporating water or fire features, and designing multifunctional spaces that are both beautiful and useful.
What is the 3 year rule in gardening?
The 3-year rule in gardening is the rule that some plants may take upwards of three years to establish and bloom, particularly for perennials and trees. The roots have to take time to settle in. Staying dormant is the key to a successful garden because plants take a few seasons to prosper and thrive.
What is the 3-hour gardening rule?
The 3-hour gardening rule is the method of dividing your gardening work into three-hour sprints, instead of working for long hours at a time. This will help you stay productive, without feeling burnt out. You will also have time for leisurely enjoyment of your garden.
What is the most common mistake of first time gardeners?
Gardeners new to the hobby have the tendency to commit the mistake of overwatering their plants. New gardeners often tend to think that plants always need to have water, but overwatering can have serious side effects like rot and other plant afflictions. Each plant has specific water needs, and ensuring that the soil is well-drained in order to avoid waterlogging is vital.
Does through a window count as direct sunlight?
Sunlight passing through glass might allow some light to filter through, but it's not as strong as direct sunlight. They filter out most, if not all, of the UV radiation which can be harmful to the plants. If you are growing plants indoors, make sure to put them beside a south-facing window, or better yet, use artificial grow lights.
