Fruit Trees

If you have the opportunity to plant fruit trees (or any kind of food producing plant), you should. Not only do you get wonderful fresh food, but you also get to experience getting back to nature. Plus, it’s an excellent way of teaching children about the amount of work that goes into farming. Not to mention the benefits of sharing your crop with friends and neighbors, or those in need.

Keep in mind you don’t necessarily need a large amount of space to do some gardening, either. Some vegetables can be grown in containers on a patio and there are often miniature versions of fruit trees.
