Breakdown of Gardening Time in Germany: A Deep Dive into the Data
- Germans dedicate approximately 12 minutes daily to gardening activities.
Here's a lowdown on the gardening hours across Germany's demographics, straight from the folks at the Federal Statistical Office.
Let's roll!
Older folks are known for their green thumbs. People aged 65 and beyond spend an impressive 21 minutes a day tending to their gardens. On the other hand, the young guns—those aged 18 to 29—only manage an average of three minutes a day in the garden. The middle-aged crowd falls somewhere in between. Folks aged 45 to 64 spend 13 minutes, while those aged 30 to 44 clock in at seven minutes.
When it comes to green thumb budgets, homeowners are the big spenders, dropping about 28 euros a month on garden supplies, plants, and flowers. Tenants, on the other hand, spend around 12 euros.
Curious about which gender spends the most time gardening? Or maybe you want to know about regional gardening habits? Too bad! The data only covers gardening time by age group for now.
Keep in mind that while this data comes from a survey conducted by the Federal Statistical Office in 2022, specific statistics on gardening by age are not readily available in publicly-available reports. For precise stats, it's best to reach out to the Federal Statistical Office or check their official publications directly.
If you're looking for insights into broader lifestyle trends or other demographic data, why not check out publications like the "Germany Lifestyles of Generation Z Consumer Report 2025"? It discusses aspects of younger generations' lifestyles but doesn't specifically address gardening habits by age group.
Till next time, happy gardening!
