Start Growing Food at Home

You don't need an allotment or a large garden to start growing your own food. From a sunny windowsill to a small balcony, there are plenty of ways to get started right where you are.

Getting Started

Windowsill Growing

Herbs like basil, chives and parsley thrive on a sunny windowsill. All you need is a pot, some compost and a little patience.

Container Gardening

Tomatoes, peppers and strawberries all grow brilliantly in pots and grow bags on a balcony or patio.

Raised Beds

If you have a small garden, a raised bed gives you control over your soil and makes growing veg much easier.

Vertical Growing

Short on space? Climbing beans, peas and cucumbers can be trained up trellises, fences or even walls.
