We grow food for many reasons. You’ll save money. Your family will eat fresh, delicious and nutritious food! Gardening can be a way to express your family’s culture and heritage -- and to build happy memories and traditions for your children. It’s also a perfect way to get outdoors and exercise. And at harvest time, you can share excess high-quality food with others who badly need it.
