OK, folks. I know we’re all fully aware that vegetable gardens are the “in” thing this year. But I just had to pass along this article on “recession gardens” that was posted on CNN.com.
As the mother of two young children, I really appreciate this quote from the story:
Susan Hopper, a 41-year-old elementary school teacher in Tampa, Florida, said she started a garden last year, partly to teach her family and her students about the food chain. “I have three children of my own, and they think chicken comes in tenders and nuggets,” she said. “I was concerned about their health, and I wanted them to understand that food is a process that we’re a part of, and it just doesn’t come in neat packages.”
While we’re on the subject of vegetable gardening, you might want to cruise over to view this report from the National Gardening Association. It’s a comprehensive look at the association’s “Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America” survey. Lot’s o’ good stats and insights on consumer behavior.
Happy Spring!
