Homegrown Living: A Growing Trend in Homes and Gardens
)
Sometimes the best trend spotting happens unexpectedly. While enjoying a Sunday morning cup of tea, we were delighted to see Sara Ward, founder of Hen Corner, appear on ITV’s Jimmy & Shivi’s Farmhouse Breakfast, sharing her passion for hens, sustainable living and producing food at home.
Sara’s appearance reflects a wider shift we’re seeing across homes and gardens. More people are looking for ways to make their living spaces work harder for them - from creating beautiful outdoor areas to growing herbs, vegetables and even keeping hens. It’s all part of a growing desire to live more sustainably while getting more enjoyment from our homes.
Across the UK, interest in homegrown living continues to rise. What was once considered a countryside pursuit is increasingly becoming part of modern home life, whether that means a kitchen herb garden, raised beds in the garden, or simply making better use of outdoor space.
Bringing the Edible Garden to Life
At the show, we’re bringing this trend to life through our Edible Garden, where Sara Ward will share her expertise and practical advice with visitors.
Known for her inspiring and practical approach to self-sufficiency, Sara shows that homegrown living is accessible to everyone. From balconies to back gardens, she proves fresh eggs, herbs, honey and vegetables can be part of everyday home life.
Visitors will be able to explore ideas for integrating growing and sustainability into their homes and gardens, discover practical tips and gain inspiration for making their outdoor spaces both beautiful and productive.
Turning Trends into Real Inspiration
At the heart of the show is a commitment to helping people make the most of their homes. We continually track emerging home and garden trends and work with leading experts to bring those ideas to life for our visitors.
From outdoor living and garden design to homegrown produce and sustainable lifestyles, our aim is always the same: to provide practical inspiration that visitors can take away and apply in their own homes.
Whether you're redesigning your garden, exploring ways to live more sustainably, or simply looking for new ideas, the show is designed to spark inspiration and help bring those ideas to life.
