From both backyards and balconies people are home gardening at rates not seen since the Victory Gardens of the 1940’s.
- There are several important trends that make up this movement:
- Consumers are seeking out organic food options at a staggering rate.
- One in three households grow food at home. It’s fresher, tastes better and costs less.
- Families with children, Millennials and Urban Gardeners are the fastest growing segments.
