The Future of Gardening
"Gas
and food prices are increasing, persuading people to take
matters into their own hands." The National Gardening
Association expects 43 million American households to grow
their own fruits, vegetables, herbs and berries this
year." That's up 19 percent over last year, according to a
household survey the group conducted in January (Sutter,
2009).
People are enjoying the satisfaction of growing their own
food, the enhanced flavor and the saved money they benefit
by doing it themselves. Environmentally Friendly" has
become a mantra amongst those wanting to preserve our
planet and stop the exploitation of the very land we
depend upon. With this, many are utilizing the benefits of
composting and growing their own food. This trend to
protect and sustain our fragile planet is one that will
continue to grow in the future. The movement towards a
more health conscious society is on the rise, providing an
unmeasured opportunity for hydroponics and organic
gardening.
Not only are individuals growing their own food, but
restaurants and even grocery stores have implemented their
own gardening centers to offer fresh, local produce to
their customers. They have heard the voice of the people
wanting uncontaminated foods grown in their own
community.

the needed supplies to successfully start and maintain
their gardens. We will provide a professional, friendly
