I think that home grown gardens are excellent and have many benefits. When you have your own gardens, it eliminates the need to travel anywhere to get your fruits, herbs and vegetables. and when you grow your own garden, you have control over what you put in your garden. For example, you can avoid fertilizers and pesticides which can increase greenhouse gases. When you have a home-grown garden, it could also reduce the amount of packaging because you don't need to package your garden foods while in supermarkets they are sometimes packaged. Having a home-grown garden also can make the air around you fresher because the plants absorb the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Overall, I think that home grown gardens are a great way to lower your carbon footprint.

I agree! Not only does it benefit you to plant your own garden, but it also benefits the environment by supporting pollinators and native plants. You wont need to travel to get your own fruits and veggies and you can be sure that the plants you consume are free of pesticides and insecticides. Planting your own garden will also impact the environment positively, especially if you plant native flowers. This will help native pollinators by providing them with native flowers to collect pollen from, and then the pollinator will help the flowers reproduce, creating a healthier ecosystem. Also you can cut back your carbon footprint! Often fruits and vegetables are grown at some farms that produce harmful chemicals to the environment, or they are imported from other counties via boat or plane. People should start to grow their own fruit and vegetables, or at least plant some native flowers to support local pollinators.
