Seasonality is the most relevant factor here, as the changing of the seasons from winter to spring is the main reason why people start working in their yards and nurseries start selling flowers. The circadian cycle relates to daily cycles of activity, the lunar cycle relates to the phases of the moon, and the planting cycle would vary depending on the specific plants being grown. Climatic conditions could also be a factor, but they are likely to be more closely related to seasonality than any of the other options.
