Did you know that families who grow their own food consume 40% more fruit and vegetables per day? Today, 25% of Americans have a backyard garden with tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet peppers being the most popular crops. Community gardens are also becoming more popular and cities across the US are encouraging people to work with their neighbors to build and cultivate gardens together on public lands.
