Better health is growing in your garden. [Food Gardening Network Preview]( April 17, 2024  [$5 Earth Day Sale!]( [A Garden is Good for What Ails Ya’]( Better health is growing in your garden. [Home Remedios] Dear Gardener, Lucky for us gardeners, there's almost no end to the health benefits of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Hot peppers have anti-inflammatory properties. Apples are known as nature’s toothbrush. You can find melatonin in cherries, which is linked to healthy sleep patterns. The nitrates in beets help lower blood pressure and the lutein in corn promotes eye health. And that’s just the beginning. In this special FREE gift from Food Gardening Network, Master Gardener’s Book of Home-Grown Home Remedies, we’re exploring the health benefits of more than 57 fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. From apples and avocados to watermelon and winter squash, if you can grow it in your garden, you can enjoy the health benefits of fresh produce. Gardening has made such a huge difference in my life. I feel better, more self-sufficient, and happier. I’d love to share that experience with you. That’s what the Master Gardener’s Book of Home-Grown Home Remedies is all about. Here’s a sample of what’s inside. [$5 Earth Day Sale! Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $5 for an Entire Year! UPGRADE YOUR MEMBERSHIP TODAY!

The flowers of the cherry tree are fragrant and beautiful, with soft white petals attractive to bees and other pollinators. Cherries are also bursting with health benefits. For instance, did you know that cherries contain antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation from arthritis? Cherries are also a good source of potassium. And some studies have found that the anthocyanins in cherries may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Not bad for such a tasty treat! [Peppers] It’s not just the sweet treats that have health benefits. Did you know that hot peppers are packed with vitamins and minerals? It’s true! Hot peppers are especially rich in vitamin C. Of course, hot peppers are probably most well-known for their heat. That heat comes largely from capsaicin, which, believe it or not, actually has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Your mouth may not agree with the “pain-reducing power” after a few bites of a Scotch Bonnet habanero, but your heart will appreciate the improved circulation and the reduction of plaque buildup in blood vessels. What if you’re not a fan of fiery peppers? No problem! Bell peppers have many of the same vitamins, minerals, and compounds that make hot peppers so healthy. What about okra for treating a sore throat? Melons as a natural makeup remover? Oregano to ward off mosquitos? Avocado to reduce stretch marks? Learning more about these remedies and benefits has changed the way I think about my garden and my health. And what better day than Earth Day to share these! And, because you’re here with us, in this paper-free, ink-free endeavor, you’re taking eco-friendly to the next level. So let’s keep that going with a $5 Food Gardening Network Gold Membership. I hope you enjoy your free gift: the Master Gardener’s Book of Home-Grown Home Remedies, along with the many recipes, gardening tips, helpful videos, illustrated extras, and more that’s here waiting for you.

I had to go through dozens of books, piles of magazines, and about a million websites to figure out how to grow what I wanted. There was some luck, too. I have some friends who are experienced food gardeners, and I wasn’t shy about talking to the farmers I bought produce from at the markets and farm stands. That’s certainly one way to learn. I also realize that takes a lot of time and patience (and no small amount of Type A personality traits!). And honestly, there are times it would have been nice to have one source to discover a new vegetable (or rediscover some old favorites), and get all the information I needed to grow these vegetables in my garden. Well, now there is, thanks to the Food Gardening Network—a one-stop guide for all your gardening and cooking needs. From starting seeds to irrigation to pest control to indoor herb gardens, this is the information I wish I had when I was learning to garden.
