Who are farmers/gardeners?

Farmers and gardeners are people who grow food, flowers, other crops, and animals, cultivating the land for profit and pleasure. My Dad, my grandmothers, my Great Uncle Jim...many of my family members are great gardeners. My Uncle Joe specializes in juicy tomatoes and fragrant basil; my Grandma Kase grew a backyard of beautiful flowers. They have shared the beauty and bounty of the gardens with me, summer after summer. Do you know anyone who farms or gardens? What special things have they shared with you?
