Dear Food Gardener,

Food gardening has been on the rise in recent years—by people of all ages and backgrounds. Everyone is discovering the joy and satisfaction of growing, harvesting, and eating good food—grown right in your own food garden at home. It pleases me to know that some of the highest participation-rate increases for food gardening have been among 18-34-year-olds, those in urban areas, and households with children. Let the joy of home food gardening spread!

And food-gardening trends point to continued growth, including with vegetable gardening, herb gardening, and growing fruits and berries.

When planning your own food garden at home, garden design and having all the right garden tools and equipment are critical to your success. Even in small urban spaces, planning accordingly for the right container gardening for your seeds and seedlings can mean the difference between a bountiful harvest and dead plants and wasted money.

Soil, fertilizer, and amendments also help decide whether your food-gardening efforts are successful. And don’t forget that the right irrigation and watering techniques can matter just as much as fending off plant pests and diseases.

Finally, what’s the use of all your food-gardening efforts if you don’t have easy-to-prepare recipes at hand, so that you can enjoy the food you’ve grown. You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to cook simple dishes with home-grown food—dishes that will burst with flavor, aroma, and texture. I know that I personally find great value in the Recipes from Food Gardening Network!

To be successful with your food-gardening efforts, you could spend countless hours scouring the Internet for information and advice about how to manage your garden—and discover untested or lacking resources. Or, you can use a go-to resource that ensures you have everything you need all in one place and carefully curated to save you time, money, and effort.

And that’s what Food Gardening Network is all about—providing you, no matter your skill level, with all the tools, resources, and advice to maximize your benefit from food gardening at home! Food Gardening Network is your community of fellow food gardeners, poised to help one another by sharing knowledge and tips about growing the best food ever!

My colleagues and I bring decades of food-gardening experience to Food Gardening Network. All of us are passionate about gardening—and cooking and eating!

Food Gardening Network also relies on expert gardening writers from across North America to share their tips, advice, and expertise with you.
