GROW
Your fruits and vegetables

There is nothing more pleasing or rewarding than harvesting home-grown salad, herbs, fruit or vegetables from your own garden. And, no matter what space you have, from a single container to an entire patch, you can grow your own unbelievably fresh food with fantastic flavor.

EAT

Healthier food

Growing your own food has many health benefits:

​

  • It helps you eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

  • You decide what kinds of fertilizers and pesticides come in contact with your food.

  • It lets you control when to harvest your food. Vegetables that ripen in the garden have more nutrients than some store-bought vegetables that must be picked early.
