April brings about thoughts of Spring rain and new growth. No wonder it's National Lawn & Garden Month, as our attention turns to cleaning, lawn cleanup, and a fresh start overall. Companies and blog writers everywhere are gearing up to inspire consumers, which means it’s high time to give your packaging a fresh look, as well!

In addition to all the beautiful and lush green plant growth, there’s also another kind of growth happening in the lawn and garden industry. 74% of all U.S. households participated in lawn and garden activities in 2016, and the National Gardening Survey puts the DIY lawn and garden industry at an astounding $36.9 billion.

A 2015 study by Mintel found that people are spending more time on lawn care because an attractive lawn and garden increases the value of their homes. Consumers also believe that their lawn and garden are a reflection of their personalities, so they’re willing to put more love and care into it.

Millennials are leading the way in this industry growth, along with an overall increase in food gardening. The millennial generation touts an incredible $600 billion in annual purchasing power. If you aren’t capitalizing on those dollars, you’re undoubtedly missing out. For tips on how to design packaging that speaks to Millennials, read our blog, Packaging Designed for Millennials.
