Steve Jobs will have his own private, vegetable garden at his new pad, reports Cult of Mac, which also has a layout of the 5,000 square feet design on its website.

Gizmodo gave the intricate details:

“According to these initial designs, Jobs intends to populate the 6 acres with an assortment of indigenous flora; a simple three-car garage; a modest 5 bedroom home with plenty of windows and decks; a network of lighted stone walkways; and even a private vegetable garden. Everything is neat, tight, pragmatic, and in its place.”

This leaves more questions to be answered, of course. What vegetables will be included? Will the garden be organic? Does Jobs have a staff to tend to the veggies or does he have a natural green thumb himself?

It may awhile before the public learns these answers, but there is information available on why people garden in the first place, according to a survey by the National Gardening Association called “Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America.”

From Ethnicurean:

“58% said that they garden to get better tasting food, 54% to save money on food, 51% to grow better quality food and 48% to be sure about the safety of their food. The Great Recession is pushing more people into the garden, with 34% responding that the economic troubles are motivating their gardening practices either “very much” or a “fair amount.”

The survey found in 2008, approximately 31 million American households spent $2.5 billion on food gardening tools.
