    A kitchen garden is a small plot of land near a home used to grow edible plants and some medicinal herbs. To set one up, choose a sunny location with nutrient-rich soil, select raised beds or planters, and start with easy-to-grow microgreens before expanding to vegetables. Maintaining the garden requires consistent watering, regular fertilizing and mulching, weeding, and pest control. Growing one's own food provides nutrition, exercise, environmental benefits, and a productive hobby.
