Why grow a garden?

Since i was a little girl i always wondered how to start a garden. Every time i try to start and plant one they never grow. I think that the people of this world should start growing little gardens in there backyards. I believe that people should grow garden because it is beneficial in many ways. One of the ways that benefits of growing a garden is saving money. Saving money can cut the cost of the grocery bills. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars a month at the store you can spend half of that money buying seeds for your garden and also spending time nourishing your garden. Another reason is it protects our future generations. Studies say the average child receives 4 times the more exposure than an adult to at least eight widely used cancer causing pesticides in food. The decisions you make will make an impact on our children s future. Another good reason why to grow a garden is to save energy. Farmers use more petroleum than any other single industry.Energy is more used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to till, cultivate and harvest all the crops in the US. If we grow our own garden we are cutting down on transportation and population cost. Another reason we should start growing gardens is because we will keep chemicals off our food. Most of the fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides. Some pesticides are implicated in birth defects, nerve damage and genetic mutations. When growing your own food you have control over what does, or doesn't go into it. I say lets all build gardens so we can be more healthier and save money.    . 
Look how pretty this is :)
