Backyhard greenhouses are a beautiful addition that provide a safe, healthy place for plants to grow and thrive. You can grow specific crops and varieties that are suited to your family's tate, and you'll know exactly what is going in to their production - whether and what kinds of pesticides or other chemicals, for example. Food that ripens on the vine, and is picked and immediately eaten is more flavorful and maintains far more nutrients than when it's picked still green and shipped around the country or the world.
Producing your own food also gives a distinct sense of pride and accomplishment, from learning new skills, to the satisfaction of meeting some of the fundamental neesd of your family. Your own commitment to small scale farming, composting, and low impact consumption can also satisfy the itch to know you're doing your part to help maintain a liveable world.
