Welcome to HomeGrower!

Welcome to HomeGrower
From windowsill to allotment — everything you need to grow your own food.

Growing your own food in the UK isn’t always straightforward. The weather is unpredictable, space is often limited, and what works elsewhere doesn’t always suit our climate.

At HomeGrower, we help you navigate all of that — whether you’re growing herbs on a windowsill, running a small indoor setup, or planning a productive garden plot. You’ll find practical guides and clear advice focused on methods and tools that actually work in UK homes and gardens.

We’re building the resource we wish we’d had when we started. New guides, reviews, and resource hubs are added regularly, so you can keep learning and improving as your garden (or your windowsill) takes shape.
