Ask any gardener today why he or she gardens and
you’ll get a variety of reasons why it’s
important.Garden to Learn, Garden to be
creative, garden for exercise,
etc. For many people, their home garden is an
escape. It is a hobby that they enjoy and helps
them get back to nature in the middle of their
bustling lives. There are many things that
can be done in your home garden that you can
change from being detrimental to our environment
to beneficial! Whether it is growing an
organic
garden, starting a
backyard composting system,
worm composting,
collecting rain water, or even just planting
drought tolerant plants, you can individually
make a difference in the local environment, and
your family's health.
Many families
do
not have the option to build a home garden, but
they should not be left out or forgotten for
lack of access. If
there was a local community garden near your
home would you participate in growing a plot?
