The dirt on starting your own garden


Plan for the long-term. Harvest healthier life-styles today.

A growing number of businesses and organizations nationwide are reaping the benefits of employer-sponsored gardens.

Take a look at "Newsmakers" to see a sampling of organizations already engaged. It might be just the thing to inspire you and your colleagues to break ground on a new garden today.

Then again … what if you're already making it happen, either individually or as part of a group? Spill the beans! Gardeners help gardeners, and you can post your tips, hints and tricks to "Field Notes." The movement we're taking about is nationwide, and what a person discovers in Omaha might be just the thing to help a group of employees in Spokane.

Dig in. Let the dirt fly. Post updates, and include a photo or two.

Plant. Nurture. Harvest. Repeat.

Grow and sustain the energy.
