Starting a vegetable garden teaches the process of where certain foods come from and instills valuable lessons like, responsibility and teamwork. This activity is a great way to bring nutritious vegetables to your plate and is a prime example of farm-to-table.

You have worked so hard to plant your vegetable garden that maintaining it is a must! Take the time to water, manage, and feed your plants. This keeps them fresh and healthy for when you go to use them.

After planting and keeping up your vegetable garden, enjoy it. Make a snack using farm-to-table ingredients. The vegetables and herbs from your garden should be the star of the dish, but feel free to add in other elements. Work with others, follow a recipe, and have fun!
