Food from your garden tastes better than grocery store produce. Many types of produce cost less to grow than to buy in the store.
Gardening is a good form of physical activity.
You can grow food at home without chemicals that pollute the environment and could be bad for your health. Knowing where your food comes from gives you a greater sense of control. You can make your own fertile soil by composting. Making compost for your garden recycles your kitchen waste. Children love to watch things grow.
