What is National Gardening Day?

On April 14th, gardeners and would-be gardeners can grab a shovel, plant some seeds, and start a beautiful year of homegrown bounty.

Whether you want to grow vegetables, fruit, flowers, houseplants, or something in between, National Gardening Day honors a satisfying pastime that you will enjoy for decades.

Growing your own food saves you time and money at the grocery store while still providing fresh and natural food for your family.

The benefits of gardening come from more than the produce, as many gardeners know.. Spending time in the garden also provides physical fitness and the opportunity to connect with nature..

The day is a call to action to get out and grow flower or vegetable gardens. Whether you plant, plant in the ground, in cans, in straw bales, or in a square foot gardening box, you will have a square foot gardening box. Just garden!
