Consumers Answered
Our survey reveals that gardeners are preparing to make significant adjustments to their spending if the economy worsens, but their priorities vary by category.
Perennials saw a somewhat cautious approach, with 17% indicating they would buy more and 29% saying they would buy the same amount. However, 35% of respondents indicated they would reduce or stop purchasing these items altogether, reflecting an overall moderate shift in spending.
Annuals had a similar trend: Only 16% would increase their purchases, while 38% would either reduce or stop buying annual plants. This suggests that gardeners see annuals as more discretionary than perennials.
