5 Signs You Are A Master Gardener
A leading brand conducted a survey of 2,000 adults and found out that only a quarter of them rated themselves as good at gardening. The other 20% says they’re “not very good” at gardening at all.
Some people garden for fun, some people do it for therapy and some just as a hobby. But for others, they really spend their time and efforts so they can become a master gardener.
According to another survey, the number one sign that someone is a master gardener is that their garden is always presentable. Here are 5 other signs to look for:
- Know what plants to plant at different times and seasons of the year
- Knows how to identify the names of different plants and trees
- Gives advice to others about gardening
- Know how to deadhead flowers
- Spend a lot of money on gardening tools, ornaments, and furniture per year
If you tick off all these signs then you’re on your way to becoming a master gardener. Here are a few more interesting stats.
Gardening has a reputation that it’s something that only older people do. But a survey conducted found that almost 50% of the respondents said that they started making efforts on their own gardens between the ages 18 and 31. Less surprisingly though lawnmowers are the most common gardening tool that people own.
It also did not come as a shock that people accidentally chop and cut off their power tools wires while working on their garden which is why cordless power tools are now becoming much more popular. Especially battery ones, which we have a great range in at Mower Place.
Over half of people surveyed feel confident about how and when to mow their lawns. It also came out that people are less sure about how they can use their chainsaws, with only 14% feeling confident that they know how to use one. If you need help with chainsaws just drop us a message.
Gardening is more than just lawnmowers and chainsaws though, 64% of respondents potted plants, ⅓ have a herb garden and 59% had a patio or decking area while 70% had garden furniture.
Pressure washing the patio or decking has been becoming popular in stress-relieving too. 44% of respondents say it’s incredibly satisfying and one of the best things about gardening. Of course, the survey highlighted the many benefits of gardening with 60% saying it’s a breath of fresh air and a really fun way to exercise and clean their head.
It’s no surprise gardening is actually more popular than most realise. But, would you consider yourself a master gardener?
At Mower Place, we believe everyone is a master gardener. The great outdoors is to be enjoyed. That’s why we have something for everyone.
