Luke Marion, a gardener, recently shared a video on his YouTube channel MIgardener, promoting a 'RECESSION PROOF Garden' by recommending 21 crops like garlic and tomatoes. He argues that growing these foods can alleviate grocery costs during economic downturns, particularly amidst rising tariffs under President Trump. Other content creators support his message, emphasizing the benefits of personal gardening during hard times. Anecdotal evidence shows signs of recession already manifesting in consumer behavior and increased applications to law schools, indicating a shift towards financial prudence.
Marion's video, which has more than eighty thousand views, came in the midst of President Trump's whipsawing global tariff announcements, which headlines predicted could kick off said recession.
Having a vegetable garden can soften the blow of an economic downturn, another gardening YouTuber advised last week.
