plant a garden

President Spencer W. Kimball told saints to gather their families around and plant a garden.

“We encourage you to grow all the food that you feasibly can on your own property. Berry bushes, grapevines, fruit trees—plant them if your climate is right for their growth. Grow vegetables and eat them from your own yard. Even those residing in apartments … can generally grow a little food in pots and planters. Study the best methods of providing your own foods. Make your garden … neat and attractive as well as productive. If there are children in your home, involve them in the process with assigned responsibilities”




When President Kimball asked each of us to grow a garden, he reminded us of the words of the Lord:


“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
