You're not alone if you want to get into gardening: according to the National Gardening Survey, 18 million people gardened for the first time in 2020. One of the easiest ways to get started might just be to chat with your gardening neighbor. Local garden clubs and cooperative extension offices offer information, programs and hands on opportunities. Community gardens also are growing in popularity. It’s a good idea to start small, with a few plants or a small plot. Once you learn the ins and outs of gardening, there is always more room to grow.
