According to the National Garden Association (NGA), Americans are beginning to spend more on their lawns and gardens. In their 2007 National Gardening Survey, NGA found that retail sales of lawn and garden products to consumers increased by 3 percent to more than $35 billion. That's a positive sign for the lawn and garden industry, marking the first time since 2002 that overall retail lawn and garden sales had increased. While many homeowners recognize the value of a lawn's aesthetic appeal, the survey also showed that many more homeowners could be looking to lawn and garden activities as hobbies, as 31 percent of all households admitted growing indoor houseplants while another 30 percent of households admitted to planting flower gardens. Overall, the average household spent $428 on do-it-yourself lawn and garden activities in 2007 -- a 7 percent increase from the previous year.
