Spring planting season begins in March with National Plant a Flower Day, when gardeners celebrate by planting blooms like marigolds and daffodils – the flowers of the month.
Around 88% of households in Great Britain have access to a private or shared garden, giving most people the space to enjoy planting and gardening at home.
London has the lowest garden access, with 79% of households having a garden, reflecting the capital’s higher-density housing.
London gardens are also smaller, with a median size of 140 sq m (just over half a tennis court), compared with 188 sq m across Great Britain and 226 sq m in Scotland, the largest in the country. Source: Dataloft by PriceHubble, Census 2021.
