“NOwners and other groups like millennials can barely commit to

a single place, let alone a permanent

plot of land,” says McCoy. “Portable gardening gives

everyone a chance to grow something, no matter

where you live. And it’s fun to see gardens pop up in the most

unexpected places.”

Purposefully un-styled outdoor

spaces to work WITH nature. The

use of native plants is key to this trend.
