You’re getting ready for the day and decide to wear a chic blouse paired with your skinny jeans from your favorite designer. You’ll be feeling and looking good with minimal effort thanks to ready-to-wear fashion.
In fashion circles, ready-to-wear clothing is what designers produce for shoppers to easily buy and wear without modifications. Essentially it makes your life easier because you get on-trend clothing that instantly looks amazing.
Fashion influences a variety of industries and gardening is no exception. The ready-to-wear fashion concept has evolved into what flower experts call “grab-and-go gardening.”
“People want a stunning, standout garden without a lot of hassle, and that’s why the concept of flowers that are ready to go and grow is so popular,” says Claire Josephson, garden decorating expert. “These grab-and-go styles are easy for gardeners to plant and are full of instant, long-lasting blooms in modern color mixes that enhance your outdoor living space.”
This season, you’ll see fashion’s influences as soon as you enter your local gardening retailer. Josephson says petunias are the perfect example: expertly designed premixed petunias take the guesswork out of decorating and mixing colors, so it’s easy for experts and beginners alike to design eye-catching pots, hanging baskets, flowerbeds and more. Try any of these 2017 ready-made gardening trends this season:
