To use the grow feature, the free space has to be directly after the 
partition you want to add it to. In your case, the free space is 
after the /home partition. So you have to move that partition to put 
the free space between / and /home. But if I remember right, the 
move function starts at the beginning of the partition, so you can 
not move /home without shrinking it more because the destination 
would overlap the end source. But that should not be a problem right 
now, because /home is mostly empty. You should have no problem 
shrinking it more so that you have enough space to move it. (I would 
shrink it to less the 1gb, and then move it.

shrink /home
move it to the end of the disk.
grow / to the size you want.
move /home to right after /.
grow /home to fill the rest of the disk.
