The benefits of growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs to eat fresh from the garden
Seasonal fruit, vegetables and herbs are fresh and full of flavour, vitamins, minerals and fibre. And they are popular: on average, over half of the EU population (55 percent) eat between 1 and 4 portions of fruit and vegetables daily.1 Gardeners who grow them in their own garden can enjoy low-cost ingredients, without requiring a huge amount of space or elaborate cooking skills.
