A B O U T M E:
Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

Here are the seven 2024 Garden Trends I’m predicting now you can get on board with these because you want to be up to date and trending or some of these you may not get on board with and I’ll tell you which ones you should or should not

Get on board with based on what I’m seeing it kind of unfold as per right now the first one being food Gardens less emphasis on decorative Gardens from flowers to perennials and florals and more emphas on food whether this be in a permaculture setting where the perennials and the annuals in

Conjunction are providing FR food or from an annual perspective where we’re seed starting or purchasing seed starts that are going to produce food I see food as the garden Trend even in container settings meaning if we have flowers I would expect the greenery to be a herb or some form of edible

Greenery number two is from front La conversions we are seeing this more and more and more where we’re going away from monoculture and into the world of diversity in the space of gardens so this could be perennial this could be rock this could be flower this could be

Food regardless I don’t see classic lwn surviving for a number of different reasons which brings me into third 2024 Trend which is alternative l so these two kind of coincidence uh coincide with each other the conversion of lawn to garden and the Classic Lawn disappearing to more of a heterogeneous mixture

Rather than a monocrop the reason for this is because people are realizing that a they’re busy so just a classic lawn mowing watering weeding is a lot of work secondly people are more interested in introducing pollinators and low maintenance wands in the form of clovers or times whatever the case is the third

Being that people see the benefit of diversity both for macro microa in and around your yard along with the benefits that it plays and the roles it plays with soil so I do see the removal of just your classic Kentucky Bluegrass blend to more Alternative forms and this actually is interesting because my

Alternative lawn video I did on Clover I did white Dutch Clover specific video that performed very well last year because a lot of people I think were starting to convert so I think that that will be the future and the more people that convert to white clover the more non-gardeners will view

It as a trend and then switch that direction anyways cuz that’s what the neighbor is doing so I do see that carrying on into the future the next one number four is more animals now this sounds bizarre but I’m slowly seeing a trend upwards in this and I

Personally would love to capitalize on this trend if I was allowed to in my city but I’m not allowed to in my city because my city is anti all things living in the animal world but the utilization of anything from Quail to chickens to rabbits to help with a

Manure so composted manure for fertilizer B for just a form of composting in the example of weeds or trimmings from plants or excess produce just the utilization of the animal for composting over hot compost or just a classic compost I see animals playing a

Big role in that the next one is in pest control so if we’re utilizing Quail or chickens or anything like that for slugs or snails or grasshoppers whatever the case is using them as a biological control on those plants or those areas of our garden so I see animals being

More heavily Incorporated in cities that allow it and in the influencer world so a lot of influencers are homesteaders or they have larger plots of land I can see them utilizing animals in different ways and doing more videos on how to use animals utilize animals in different ways so again rabbits chickens quailes

Being like the big three and then if you had the space or the room you kind of get into the upper levels of maybe a dairy cow or whatever the case is the next one is less Exotics and more conventionals now the reason for that is because the Exotic seeds and plants cost

More money and they don’t just cost more money in the sense of purchasing the physical seed or purchasing the physical plant they cost more money in regards to care so lighting if we’re starting them indoors or potential Greenhouse setups uh the space that they would take up over and above a more conventional

Garden I think that this trend is actually dying and the reason for that is because I think people are going to go to the conventional route because of the cost of groceries and just the cost of time and all that sort of stuff people are going back into offices more

And more people are starting to their mortgages cost more money their time is money and so investing more time into exotic Tomatoes or pumpkins or cool flowers or eucalyptus whatever the case is it’s just it doesn’t make sense and so I do think that that is going to Trend

Downward and we’re going to get more into the conventional what my grandma grew and why I’m growing it type Vibe which is totally fine it kind of breaks my heart a little bit because I personally really liked the kind of Co covid preco era where we were introducing new varieties of

Pumpkins new varieties of tomatoes like different forms of domestication that are being brought to the consumer Market I love that despite all the cost and intensity that goes along with that world I’m sad to see it go but I understand why it’s leaving us because obviously people time is money and those

Exotic veggies that no one’s grown before sometimes take a lot of time the last one is functional containers so this kind of plays into a few of the points that I made but namely that if there’s a decorative container with a thriller a filler and a Spiller we can

Almost guarantee that either the the filler or the Spiller for sure maybe the Thriller will be edible or functional in some way meaning it will be like a citronella to keep mosquitoes at Bay or will be a herb to be utilized when we go to have our meal or it will have some

Sort of function to it and the reason for that is because cut down on grocery costs and people are starting to realize that gardening isn’t necessarily decorative and pretty it can be for helpfulness whether that be medicinal or being a herbalist or preserving or whatever the case is so I do think

Functional containers are going to become very very real of course we’re going to have our really pretty flowers or our unique displays but I could see more incorporation of different varieties of time for example whether that be variegated varieties that kind of make it look a little bit different

But ultimately are functional for our health or for our cooking whatever the case is so that is my last one for 2024 Trends if you guys have any 2024 Trends you see happening please comment them down below and I will talk to you guys next time

Bye I’m going to take these off my normal if you see me in public is wearing glasses cuz I need them to see and I actually film completely blind fun fact
