Gardens are a large part of Appalachian culture. Families have grown large gardens for generations because the mountains are not known for enormous farms like much of the South, but more subsistence style farming. Gardens continue that tradition today.
No longer out of need in most cases, folks plant their own gardens and enjoy the fruits of their labor with fresh vegetables and even some fruits.
