As the farm-to-table trend heats up at restaurants around the nation, so too, has the trend for people to grow their own food. Food gardens are popping up in front yards, back yards and community gardens. Even people living in small spaces are learning how to plant container gardens filled with fresh herbs and vegetables. The great garden comeback is well underway!
A Trend of the Fast-growing Variety
According to the National Gardening Association, roughly 1 in 3 households grow their own food, with the number of home gardens significantly increasing from 4 million in 2008 to 37 million in 2013! So, who is growing all this food? Millennials. Researchers say the generation born between 1982 and 2000 has the fastest growing interest in gardening.
