Buying a home is an exciting process, with the opportunity to
explore a variety of different environments in a quest to find that perfect
space to call your own. When looking for your new home, it’s important to make
sure that you’ve got plenty of room for gardening. Modernize knows you’ll be glad that you put
gardening on the front burner during the home purchase process—here’s why:
Save Some Money
One of the best reasons to buy a home with room to garden is
that you’ll save lots of money on food throughout the year. Even if you grow
your own herbs, tomatoes, and greens, you’ll likely save a noticeable amount on
your grocery bills. But with room to garden at your own home, you can go a step
further and raise some chickens for fresh eggs on a regular basis.
The chickens will pay their rent by providing free fertilizer
and keeping intrusive bugs to a minimum both in your garden and around your
home. You’ll likely find that chickens are a joy to hang around and will help
keep your stress levels in check, as vegetable farming does. In the end, the
money you spend on farming and gardening is sure to pay off with money saved on
food, health expenses, and lifestyle costs overall.
Decrease Your Carbon
Footprint
Become an Inspirational
Role Model
A fun benefit of buying a home with plenty of room to garden is
that you get to become a positive role model for your family, friends, and even
neighbors throughout your community. You can teach others how easy it is to
grow tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, sunflowers, lettuce, and even
potatoes—as well as care for chickens in a way that is beneficial for everyone
involved. Sharing gardening and farming tips with neighbors is a great way to
build camaraderie as the newcomer, so enjoy the opportunity.
You’ll love the closer relationship you are sure to experience
when spending time in your home garden. You can expect less stress, increased
fitness levels, and a healthier lifestyle overall.
