You may think that it is just ‘fashionable’ to want to grow your own produce but as transport costs rise and prices increase, as they already are, your own fruit and vegetables not only taste nicer but are on hand for you to gather. If you can grow organically, so much the better with the knowledge that you are not eating nasty chemicals.
You may have a large garden – perhaps too large. Maybe you are finding that the garden you once loved so much to cultivate has become something of a chore of late. You may have years of experience of growing wonderful vegetables to pick and take straight to the kitchen. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to share the knowledge that you have accumulated with someone else?
With the coming of climate change and rising oil prices, we will need to be able to become self sufficient in food production and this means growing our own fruit and vegetables on all available land.
Have you ever thought of sharing a garden? If you have garden to spare, would you like to help someone else to learn how to grow things? Do you live in a flat or a house without a garden and would love to have a little plot to grow your own?
