Overview

While the agriculture honor is for large scale farming, the Gardening honor can be done right in your own back yard or community garden plot space! You know how much you enjoy tomatoes, peas, green beans, summer squash, pumpkins, and more. Raise your own -- saving money, learning new skills, and even more growing a budding appreciation for God's incredible plan to feed us!

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

1. Prepare soil, fertilize, and plant a vegetable plot of not less than 100 square feet (30.5 square meters). Grow at least six different vegetables, three from seeds and three from seedlings, through harvesting.
