Why more Americans are gardening as Trump returns to the White House
That’s because President-elect Donald Trump has promised to deport immigrants who have crossed the border illegally, many of whom play a crucial role in helping get food from farms onto store shelves.

The prospect of higher food costs, especially as someone living on a fixed income, is a huge source of concern for Mosher. Growing her own broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, potatoes and carrots is a small but meaningful way to alleviate some of the financial burden she could face, she told CNN.
Still, she recognizes, “it’s not like growing a head of cauliflower is going to save my budget.” Likewise for the freezer she bought post-election to start stockpiling meat and broths, which she inspired her sister to do as well.
Mosher, who lives with her adult daughter, plans to keep expanding the garden to be able to provide more food for family members and friends to save them some money as well.
Capital Roots, a nonprofit organization that runs 55 community gardens around the Albany, New York, region, received 31 new membership applications from Election Day through the start of this year. That’s nearly triple the number of applications they received for the same period last year and in 2022, according to Capital Roots data shared with CNN.
The organization, which is celebrating its 50th year, had 840 active members last year with assigned plots they maintain, often with other people, such as relatives. Those members are guaranteed a spot this year if they wish to keep it. New members can apply anytime and are accepted based on the availability of plots.
