Environmentally-minded DIY enthusiasts can now enjoy the first ever 'green shopping aisle'-complete with a real grass walkway and a canopy infused with foliage and butterflies.

The green aisle is, quite literally, festooned with evergreen climbers and vegetation to help eco-conscious shoppers find the section of the hardware store that will make their home more sustainable.

'The Green Aisle' launches today at one of Britain's major hardware chains,  Homebase. The first stores to get the foliage-festooned aisle are: Haringey in London, Edinburgh, Bridgend, Birmingham, and Leeds-with more stores to follow.

In partnership with Smart Energy GB, the aisle showcases eco-friendly and energy-efficient home improvement products, as well as information on how to get a smart meter installed, all in one place.

All of these efforts will help make homes greener and ready for winter.

'The Green Aisle' was created after research found 74 per cent of Brits are keen to make their home greener, but half have no idea where to start.

Craig Phillips, DIY expert and one of the first to visit the 'Green Aisle' in Haringey, said, "I've helped hundreds of people improve their homes over the years by making small changes which have a big impact-the same is true for taking small energy efficiency measures in the home.

"It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to making greener choices.

"The Green Aisle helps make this process even easier for people by identifying which products are more environmentally friendly, and likewise understand the positive impact they can have."

Data from Energy Saving Trust also shows a household can save up to £581 ($751) on energy bills each year if they implement a full range of efficiency measures.

These include the purchase of efficient appliances and exercising best practice energy-saving behaviour, which can be encouraged with a smart meter.

On top of the financial savings, a household could also save 2,141 kg of CO2 emissions, which is the equivalent of driving 7,500 miles or enough energy to power the lights in 27 homes in the UK for a year.
