Garden Design Enquiry Trends in 2021
With the unusual year that was 2020, I don’t think anyone was sure what this year held for garden designers in the horticultural industry. We kicked off 2021 with a lot of uncertainty, and no real dates for when we would return to ‘normal’.
So, how would the general public react? Would the coined term ‘Covid Boom’ be relevant in 2021?
Five months into the year, I spoke to garden designers across the UK and here’s what six of them had to say:
So I think it’s fair to say the Covid Boom is still very present in the industry. With enquiries at all time highs for amazing garden designers like the people above, it will be interesting to see how this plays out for the rest of 2021.
However, one thing I have noticed is the variety of enquiries people are receiving. Variety not only in project size, but also expectations.
A lot of people I have spoken to are receiving a greater number of enquiries, but a large proportion of those have big expectations with minimal budgets.

How has your experience been so far in 2021?
Let me know in the comments and let’s have a discussion. It would be great to talk about the types of enquiries we’re all finding are coming through the doors.
