Posted on December 20, 2012 at 10:00 AM by Taylor Eisenhauer

We know it’s a little early to start thinking about next season’s garden, but in the chillier winter months there’s no better cure for the seasonal blues than dreaming of warmer days to come.

Earlier this month GOOD posted an article detailing six ways to improve your urban garden and we couldn’t help jumping at their advice.

Locally grown (or self-grown) produce isn’t just better for you, it’s better for the land, water and natural resources around you. Just ask Grow Your Lunch, an organization focused on educating communities about the importance food production has on the environment.

What are some of your homegrown garden favorites?
