Flowers, shrubs and trees are always lovely additions to any outdoor space, but a vegetable garden brings a plethora of benefits that extend beyond a gorgeous landscape. The opportunities that come with cultivating a vegetable garden have an even further reach than the land it grows on. Here are five reasons to consider starting your own fresh vegetable garden.

1) Enjoy Healthy, Homegrown Produce

Vegetables are rich in vitamins and nutrients, making them staples in any nutritious diet. Pick and choose among dozens of varietals to create a diverse array of produce for your table. Plus, when you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you can rest assured the crops are free of pesticides and other unwanted additives that commercial fruits and vegetables can contain. A garden is also a cost-efficient venture that will save you lots on your grocery bills throughout the growing months (think of those $5 packets of herbs you use once and then throw away!).

2) Gardening Is a Great Form of Exercise

Tending to a garden can be a great workout. Every aspect of working on a garden, from planting seeds to weeding, requires lots of movement and various forms of physical labor, like loading and pushing a wheelbarrow. Be sure to hydrate and wear adequate UV protection, such as sunblock and protective clothing, when working outdoors.

3) It Encourages Community Bonding

The social benefits of a garden are plentiful as well. Gardens can range from small backyard plots to huge community projects, and each one plays a role in serving the people that care for them. Tending to a vegetable garden can foster relationships with family and neighbors, as well as bring groups of people closer together to work towards a common goal. In addition, vegetable gardens produce food year after year, providing resources that everyone can enjoy.

4) Gardens Create Beautiful Landscapes

A vegetable garden can produce a bounty beyond just tomatoes and zucchinis. Get creative with your outdoor space! Placing flowers and other decorative plantings near the garden can add another design element while helping the soil produce healthy fruits and vegetables. Add some Insta-worthy plant labels to distinguish your sprouts, and arrange a small seating area so you can admire the fruits of your labor.

5) You’ll Cultivate New Skills

Gardens provide practical learning opportunities that go beyond planting and weeding. Grow herbs and spices to push your cooking skills to the next level, and choose other vegetables that will challenge your palate. The act of gardening can also teach the family, especially children, the importance of eating a well-balanced diet by bringing new foods and dishes to the table, straight from the backyard garden.
