Gardening 2.0

If you've hung around long enough in cyberspace you will have come across the term Web 2.0.

It's a fluid term that struggles to be pigeon-holed and is demonstrated by how it's used better than how it is structured. There are some great examples in this What is Web 2.0 article.

So, while that's all good for cybergeeks it dawned on me that there has actually been a transition that's occurring in the Gardening world as well. It too is difficult to explain so I thought it would be better just to illustrate the trend shift via some examples;

Gardening 1.0 Gardening 2.0
Share your garden with your neighbour --> Share your garden with the world
Plant Boosters --> Soil Improvers
El Nino --> Global Warming
Grow cuttings for neighbours and friends --> Plant by numbers
Local Nurseries --> Home Depot
Seed catalogues --> Amazon.com
Growing plants in the ground --> Growing plants upside down
Mow the lawn on Saturday morning --> Jim's Mowing

Gardener's: Fasten your seat belts as we traverse the new frontier.
