Gas and food prices are increasing,
persuading people to take matters into their own hands. "The
National Gardening Association expects 43 million American
households to grow their own fruits, vegetables, herbs and berries
this year. That's up 19 percent over last year, according to a
2,559-household survey the group conducted in January" (Sutter,
2009). People are enjoying the satisfaction of growing their own
food, the enhanced flavor and the saved money they benefit by doing
it themselves.
"Environmentally friendly" has become a mantra
amongst those wanting to preserve our planet and stop the
exploitation of the very land we depend upon. With this, many are
utilizing the benefits of composting and growing their own food.
This trend to protect and sustain our fragile planet is one that
will continue to grow in the future. The movement towards a more
health conscious society is on the rise, providing an unmeasured
opportunity for hydroponics and organic gardening.
Not only are individuals growing their own food, but
restaurants and even grocery stores have implemented their own
gardening centers to offer fresh, local produce to their customers.
They have heard the voice of the people wanting uncontaminated foods
grown in their own community.
