For every post, Burpee will donate a vegetable plant to support school cooking and gardening programs. Together, they want to spread the enjoyment and fun that goes along with growing and eating your own vegetables and herbs.

"There are few things more fulfilling than planting a vegetable, watching it grow and then serving it to friends and family," said Tim Duffin of Burpee Plants. "Growing vegetables is something easy that people can enjoy in urban areas and large spaces, alone or with their families. That's why we're proud to partner with Daphne Oz and Health Corps to help spread more vegetable love."

From large yards to small patios, anyone and everyone can easily grow and enjoy their own vegetables. "As a working mom, with two kids two and under, it's important for me to serve my family delicious food that's easy and fun to prepare," stated Daphne Oz. "Growing my own veggies and herbs is a great way for me to do that. Burpee and I have teamed up to help inspire gardeners and chefs of all kinds!"

Burpee and Daphne would love to see how people get their veggie on. Through Labor Day, people can share their veggie inspiration on Instagram tagging Burpee and HealthCorps. For every post, Burpee will donate a plant to a school. It can be a gorgeous meal full of vegetables, a snap of their garden, or however the flavor and fun of fresh veggies excite people!
