Katie Dubow Trend Keynote to Kick Off Farwest 2021

Farwest, the biggest green show in the west, promises to offer industry insiders a sneak peek into what’s trending in horticulture for 2022 and beyond. Garden Media Group plans to add to that buzz when Katie Dubow delivers the keynote address on Wednesday, Aug 18 in Portland, OR.

Dubow, president of Garden Media, trendspotter, and TV presenter, will discuss new garden trends that will shake up the industry, touching on what green industry businesses can expect in the next decade. Highlighting key issues, she’ll gauge the impact on the industry and suggest how companies should position themselves to be trendsetters.

“This trends report examines how the country has moved from a crisis to innovation,” said Dubow, “We’re living in a different world, a gardening has become the solace, escape and solution for many of our problems.”

Garden Media has published its highly anticipated Garden Trends Report (GTR) annually since 2001. The firm offers information about trends in a variety of formats including a free annual report, an in-depth whitepaper, and a YouTube series.
