Robert Dyas Has Plenty to Offer Urban Gardeners

As spring calls out to the green-fingered with its promise of warmer weather, now’s the perfect time to start planting crops in your garden. But of course, in 2018 that may be somewhat of a presumptuous statement to make. With the notorious Housing Crisis plaguing the nation, to the younger generation the idea of owning a property large enough to have a veg patch may seem like a pipe dream. Indeed, a recent study by the Resolution Foundation found that the under-45s live in properties with fewer square metres of space than the generation before them.

But living in a small space doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy a spot of gardening. There are so many health benefits to reap, it’s well worth planting a few crops even if you only have a bit of room to spare. According to a 2017 study by the NCBI, not only does consuming more vegetables improve your health and well-being, but growing it does too.

To make the most of your smaller home you need the right sort of planter, which leading high street retailer Robert Dyas has plenty of. From foldable planters for apartment balconies to herb stands for those with only vertical space, they’re the urban gardener’s go-to for home-grown veg essentials.
