Cooperative Extension Ventura County

Master Gardener Program

There are so many reasons to garden! Research indicates that school, home and community garden efforts provide benefits across the board, including

  • evidence that children who garden consume more fruits and vegetables;
  • improved academic performance;
  • reduced food costs for families;
  • a healthier environment for communities;
  • and improved food-security and nutrition for families, communities and the nation. 

These are just a few reasons to garden!
