There are many benefits to growing your own fruits and vegetables, such as
• More fresh and healthy food – fruits and vegetables contain fiber, vitamins and minerals and can reduce the risk of stroke, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and some types of cancer
• More control over whether chemicals are used to treat for pests and weeds
• More exercise and a chance to connect with nature
• Less need to transport food from distant farms
• Lower fruit and vegetable bills at the grocery store
