Future Gardening Trends Predicted by AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made some bold predictions about the future of gardening, forecasting trends that may shape the next three decades. These predictions include a growing emphasis on gardening for mental health, indoor gardening, and the increase in edible landscaping.

Gardening expert David Domoney believes these trends, although sounding like science fiction now, could become science fact in the near future. He sees AI shedding light on the possibilities that the future holds for gardening, inspiring a vision of innovative and sustainable gardening practices.

According to AI’s projections, the 2020s will see a rise in sustainable gardening practices such as composting, rainwater harvesting, and organic fertilizers. Urban gardening and community gardens are also expected to gain popularity during this decade.

Indoor gardening, including houseplants, hydroponics, and vertical gardening, will see an increase in demand due to urbanization. Collaboration on a global scale for sustainable gardening practices is also anticipated, as technological advancements facilitate knowledge-sharing and resource pooling among communities worldwide.

Domoney envisions a future where gardens incorporate space-efficient solutions like vertical farms and rooftop gardens, transforming how outdoor spaces are utilized. He highlights the potential for biophilic design to integrate natural elements into architecture and city planning, fostering a greater connection to nature in daily lives.

While Domoney acknowledges the importance of human interaction in gardening, he also sees the benefits of AI in assisting with garden maintenance, especially for those who may require additional physical support. AI’s role in caring for gardens while individuals are away or on holiday is emphasized as a potential game-changer, making gardening more accessible and enjoyable for all.
