Home Grown was a gardening bestseller of 1956, based on a BBC programme.
Its editor, Roy Hay (1910-1989), was a gardening journalist who instigated the Britain
in Bloom competition. Blue Home Grown is a friendly homage by Cally Trench and
Philip Lee. The book includes two photographs taken by Judy Goldhill.
Blue Home Grown was exhibited with AMBruno at the 2011 London Art Book Fair
at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, where AMBruno showed a collection of books on the theme
of blue - curated by Sophie Loss. The V&A bought a copy of every book in AMBruno's
Blue collection.
