Facebook Tests Dedicated Home and Garden Feed
(Facebook Tests A “News” Feed For Home And Garden)
MENLO PARK, CA – Facebook is trying something new. The company started testing a special feed just for home and garden content. This test involves a small group of users in the United States. The goal is to see if people want a place focused only on these topics. Users in the test see a new tab labeled “Home and Garden.” This tab lives alongside the main News Feed.
The feed shows posts, videos, and articles about decorating, renovations, gardening tips, and DIY projects. Content comes from pages users follow, groups they are in, and suggested sources. Facebook wants to make it easier for users interested in these areas to find relevant information. They aim to reduce clutter from unrelated posts.
A Facebook spokesperson explained the test. “People connect over shared interests like home improvement. We are exploring ways to better serve these communities. This dedicated space lets users dive deeper into topics they care about.” The test gathers feedback on the feature’s usefulness.
This move follows other specialized feeds Facebook introduced previously, like those for sports or news. The home and garden category represents a large, active community on the platform. Many users seek inspiration and advice for their living spaces. Facebook sees an opportunity to improve their experience.

The test does not change the main News Feed. Users still see posts from friends and family there. The home and garden feed is an optional addition. Facebook will decide next steps based on user response and engagement metrics. There is no set timeline for a wider rollout. The company is simply exploring the idea right now.
