2027 Garden Trends Report: Digging for Dopamine

In 2027, it’s not treat yourself… it’s reset yourself. Our brains have gone flat from overstimulation and checking our phones an average of 205 times a day. Neuroscience calls it “dopamine burnout.” The correction is underway, and it starts in the garden.

We’re calling the answer Digging for Dopamine, because digging in the garden hits differently: tactile, sensory, slow-reward, screen-free, and tied to a living outcome. This isn’t another fleeting digital detox: gardening is replacing doomscrolling as a daily ritual, and that’s a real opportunity for our industry.

This year’s report identifies seven trends shaping where consumers are headed, and where the green industry can lead. Download it today. And contact us with any questions
