The currrent craze for grow your own has inspired the Garden Museum to stage an exhibition that examines 100 years of “Growing your Own”.
Running from October 2009 to February 2010, THE GOOD LIFE will explore the contribution made by “Grow Your Own” through tough times such as Two World Wars and the 1970s Oil crisis through to today’s renewed enthusiasm for growing vegetables.
The exhibition will examine the intriquing question of “Whether this just a passing fad or, is it something that is embedded deep in the psyche of people in Britain?”
The Garden Museum is encouraging people all over the UK to get involved with this inspirational exhibition by donating exhibits that reflect the nation’s passion for growing their own produce:
