Growing vegetables allows everyone—even those with small spaces—to enjoy the many benefits of gardening:

• Grow your own fresh, nutritious food
• Enjoy outdoor activity and peaceful interaction with nature
• Experience the joy of nurturing and harvesting your crops
• Gain a sense of food security during supply chain disruptions
• Share the harvest with family, friends, and community
• Access more variety and flavor than grocery stores can offer
• Control over what goes into your food, including pesticide use

Fresher, healthier, more satisfying—vegetable gardening is more than a trend. It’s a rewarding way of life!
