National Garden Month

Every April, since 2003, communities, organizations, and individuals nationwide celebrate gardening during National Garden Month. According to the original proclamation: "Gardening is a wholesome avocation that encourages appreciation for nature and concern for the preservation and enhancement of our environment. It prompts a genuine respect for those who work in agriculture today. Gardening, above all, provides a special source of fulfillment when foresight, patience, and collaboration with soil and sunlight finally are repaid by lovely flowers and luscious harvests."
