I have a garden in my backyard. We grow tomatoes, green peppers, onion, and cucumbers. I think the food we grow taste WAY better than the store bought food because it tastes natural to me. The produce in certain stores has a plastic taste and sometimes the food just doesn't look right. I love eating locally grown food because it supports local companies and businesses. It is so worth having a garden because we don't have to run to the store if we forget a tomato, all we have to do is walk to our backyard and pick, wash and eat. We save so much money on produce and we don't waste that much gas anymore running to the store. I wish we could expand our garden but we are surrounded by trees which block the sun and don't have a huge backyard, but one day maybe we can expand it. Near my house a few people bought this property and they started planting small trees and FRUITS AND VEGGIES! It is really cool to see the property go from nothing to something.

This is a website that explains how you can join or even start your own garden club. It's a great read and it gives you some great history on the National Garden Clubs.
