Trends in Organic Lawn and Garden Products, new from Packaged Facts, presents a comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding organic sector of the overall lawn and garden (L&G) market. It examines this sector from three interrelated perspectives, analyzing trends in terms of context, concepts, and content. To elaborate:

• The first perspective places the term “organic” in context, defining it as distinct from the term “conventional” and attaching it to an alternative market universe of “green” and “eco-friendly” products.
• The second perspective explores the various organic concepts relating to lawn care and gardening that have developed, each taking different approaches to an underlying “organic paradigm.”
• The third, content-oriented perspective looks specifically at trends in organic L&G products, with a focus on marketers and brands.

Note that this study also covers trends in media/promotion, education/awareness, community programs, lawn care operators, retailing, and consumer acceptance.

In terms of product categories, the primary focus of this study is on what is known in the overall lawn and garden market as “L&G supplies.” The L&G supplies category comprises two product segments: fertilizers/growth media (F/GM); and pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides).
