Grow Your Own

NS&I is supporting the RHS Grow Your Own campaign, encouraging people to grow their own fruit and vegetables and highlighting the many similarities between growing and saving. In an NS&I survey* conducted last year 92% of people stated that for both growing and saving you only reap the benefits through patience and regular effort.

At www.rhs.org.uk/growyourown you will find all the information, tips and techniques you need to have a go at growing your own.

Growing gardens today competition

Following the success of our second NS&I Growing Gardens Today competition, we recently ran the competition for a third year.

The competition is now closed and we received a high standard of entries from which three lucky winners will be chosen and given a £5,000 grand by NS&I to help them create and build their gardens.

The gardens will be displayed in the Grow Your Own area of the show and judged using a public vote. Please check back soon as we will publish the winner's names on the website once judging has taken place.

*The survey, which questioned people about their growing and savings habits, was carried out by TNS in January 2009 among 1,009 GB adults aged 16+.
