Q: How does growing my own food lead to a sustainable lifestyle?
A: Great question! Sustainability is less of an end goal and more of a lifestyle. To live sustainably means to prioritize the use of natural and renewable resources instead of creating excess waste and depleting environmental resources for future generations, this concise definition was found here. It’s the mentality that we all make choices as citizens, consumers, and humans on this planet - those choices should yield as little impact as possible. Growing our own food leads to a cascade of positive repercussions. Firstly, it relieves some of the burden on the agricultural system as well as the pollution created from agriculture and the transport of these goods. Growing our own food means contributing to our local ecosystem by providing native pollinators with nourishment. It also gives us gratitude and appreciation for farmers who work extremely hard to provide produce to citizens of the United States. As we become more conscious of our role as consumers in society, the inevitable result is more awareness with overall consumption of nonrenewable resources and how our actions affect the world around us.

Q: How long will it take for me to begin harvesting from my garden?
