Grow Your Own, and Buy Local
No land of your own? Not even a deck for planters?
Join or Start a Community Garden!
Community Gardens are increasingly popular for many good reasons! Growing your own food locally conserves energy compared to buying food shipped thousands of miles to stores and thus burning a lot of oil. So, community gardens are good for Mother Earth. That’s good for you too, but there are many more reasons: It’s fun to see your garden grow! You can save money, you get a little exercise, you get quality time with friends or your family, you get an easy way to make new friends happy to help you learn more about ecology, agriculture, life! You can reap a healthy, organic harvest. That’s all good for YOU!
Green Education Network and the non-profit American Community Gardening Association are happy to help and support you in a number of ways, there’s even a map of registered gardens.
