Grow your own – a trend for the future

The trend towards ‘GROWING YOUR OWN’ is not a new one.

The concept has been on the rise since the recession in 2010 and is particularly noticeable in urban areas. Evidence suggests the trend is becoming less of a novelty as it embeds itself in commercial and household routines around the globe. In the UK alone, more than 15 million people are planting vegetables and fruit on windowsills and in small gardens!

Compost heaps and organic gardens have become fashionable. From fruit trees & brambles to herbs & veggies, more people are opting to GROW THEIR OWN.

Why? There are many driving factors; consumers fear the chemicals used in commercial farming, are aware of the significant food miles when importing and are concerned about how their food choices affect the environment. Add to this, the constant escalation of food prices along with the gratification of consuming food grown all on your own, and the GROW YOUR OWN inspiration is a recipe for success!
