Setting up and maintaining an organic "Family Home Victory Garden" is truly a "win-win-win-win" decision with multiple and lasting benefits for your children, family, community and the planet!

1. For your child or children:

• Hands-on learning of useful life-long skills---not only gardening, but math, botany and other skills as well.
• Understanding the concepts of sustainable, ecologically sound ways of living from an early age
• The scientific, math and specific skills learned are about something the child is interested in. This makes the skills less abstract and more real, and a greater interest in learning is likely to carry over when the child is in the classroom.
• Feeling a sense of achievement and of being a contributing part of the family's success and well-being.

2. For your Family:

• Your garden is a project that will bring family members together.
• You'll garner a supply of the the freshest, tastiest, most nutritious vegetables to be had anywhere.
• The "fruits of your garden" will pay for themselves many times over if the garden is maintained from season to season,  and wil thus be a net financial gain for you.
• By using your own produce, your meals will naturally tend toward the healthy side (fresh kale and basil just don't suggest "Big Macs" as a side dish!), so your garden should improve all family members' overall long-term health and well-being.

3. For your Community:

• Your garden is a healthy organic piece of land in your community on which no pesticides or manufactured fertilizers will be used.
• Your friends and neighbors may be stimulated to consider starting gardens.
• Anything you grow in excess of your own needs can be shared as you see fit to benefit whomever.
• Learning and practicing principles of sustainable living will make you more informed citizens and voters and lead you to consider other healty, beneficial life style changes.

4. Planet Earth ("Think globally - Act Locally"):

• None of what you grow will consume synthetic fertilizers, power to run agribusiness machinery, or oil for refrigerated boat/truck shipping and storage over long distances.

• Fewer trips to shop will decrease local pollution and lower your carbon footprint.
• The businesses who supply you with the materials for organic gardening will mostly be vendors with socially responsible business models.

Free telephone consultations are available and KGG will answer inquiries submitted online (via our "request consultation" page).

Onsite consultations depend on the complexity of the consultation and your location. 

Any consultation expense will be included if you proceed with a garden under our guidance.

You may be thinking: 

"It's already .........  (Spring)(Summer)(Fall)(Winter)!! 

Is it  ...... (too late)(just right)(too early) for any kind of home gardening?"

Gardening can be done or planned and prepared for - or be followed up on - in every season.
