2022 Trends Report - From Crisis to Innovation
August 10, 2021 | 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
Speaker: Katie Dubow
Why should you care about trends? It’s simple. Trends drive consumers and consumers drive sales. This year, the Garden Center Show is the place to watch for emerging trends. In 2022 and beyond, gardening is the solution. As the world opens back up, we move from Crisis to Innovation. Garden trends are more important than ever to guide us in uncertain times and give us hope. Join global trendspotter and QVC guest host, Katie Dubow, and learn how to apply new research and inside information to help you grow your business and stay relevant. When you’re ahead of the curve, your company becomes a trendsetter and you become the go to place for what’s new – whether you are a breeder, grower or retailer.
