Gardening

Coming soon.

The National Gardening Association says 43 million households planned a backyard garden or joined a community garden in 2009, up from 36 million in 2008. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Agriculture proclaimed August 23-29 National Community Gardening Week.

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary added the word “locavore” (one who eats foods grown locally whenever possible).
