(PRWEB UK) 19 September 2013

The ‘grow-your-own’ phenomenon has been hailed as one of the more enduring trends of the decade. Sparked during the recession, when the British pound was weak, the cost of commodity items was rising and general cost of living high, many Brits have turned to growing their own. Whether herbs, fruit or vegetables, home grown produce has never been so fashionable.

Back in 2011, the Telegraph reported the rising grow-your-own trend over the previous few years as reminiscent of the craze for small holdings, started by the 1970s TV series the Good Life. There’s no doubt well known gardeners like Alan Titchmarsh, and celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver have contributed to the rise in home grown produce. This year the Telegraph recently reported in an article the ‘Top Trends for 2013’, that the self-sufficiency trend is one that is set to continue with more people than ever relying on their gardens to yield fresh food, but the idea goes beyond austerity. Home owners are excited about being able to grow what they want to eat.

Michael Hardcastle, MD of the English Woodlands business agrees the grow-your-own trend is here to stay. “Sales of our core fruit trees including apples, pears, cherries and plums have all shown double digit growth over the last two years. Anecdotal evidence we hear from our customers is that growing your own is no longer just a novelty, but is now firmly entrenched as a regular routine for many households. We are also experiencing demand for more of our unusual fruit trees and to help encourage experimentation, we are offering 20% off this autumn on some fantastic varieties.”
