🫑 Organic Gardening

Why?


Organic gardening is “ to garden with materials derived directly from plants, animals, and minerals, without the assistance of fossil fuels (i.e., there is no use of petrochemical-based pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers).” It strives to avoid the problematic results that come from conventional gardening and—at a much larger, more significant scale—industrial farming. When you grow organic, you’re committing to goals like: Improving soil and water quality Reducing pollution from run-off Promoting sustainable food systems In this way, starting your own organic garden will support both your local environment and your lifestyle! You’ll have healthy, chemical-free produce to promote a more nutritious diet, and you’ll reap all the benefits of growing your own food. Even if your garden is small, supplementing your grocery shopping with organic home-grown food can add up to big savings in your food budget. You’ll also have the added bonus of knowing exactly where your food is coming from, and being proud of getting there!
