Why garden?

Why Garden?
I suspect the answer to that question may be different for each of us.  I grew up in a city and lived in an apartment as a child.  I remember going to visit my aunt and uncle every summer who lived in Michigan. They had a small hobby farm, complete with a big red barn and a haymow, apple trees for climbing and a large organic garden with compost pile.

At the age of seven, I was set down in this space and taught to pull weeds.  It was all so amazing-- tomatoes growing on vines, zucchini squash, carrots and strawberries!  From that came a lifelong love of gardening and growing my own whenever possible.  So now, being retired and living in an apartment, I jumped at the chance to join a community garden. --Deborah G.
