The benefits of gardening

Sunflower in Taylorsville Garden

Gardening provides you with fresh, locally grown produce and can save hundreds of dollars in groceries each month. Community gardening lets you combine efforts with like-minded members of your community, share ideas, and learn from garden experts.

Through hands-on participation, you connect to the earth’s natural energy and experience nature’s cycles—planting, growing, and harvesting—without the responsibility of managing the entire garden. By contributing a modest amount of work, we can cultivate an abundant harvest for all to share.  


How you will benefit

Being outdoors, breathing the fresh air and getting your hands into the earth, you will immediately reconnect with nature’s energy. Gardening will clear your mind and rejuvenate your spirit—giving you a break from the computer, TV, bills, advertising, and other stresses of life.

You’ll meet interesting people, learn new things, and engage your senses in meaningful work. And you’ll actually see—and taste—the fruits of your labor. What a great way to improve your physical, mental, emotional, and social health. There’s food for thought! Join us and taste the difference between store-bought food and fresh, home-grown produce.
