This study assessed the feasibility of a mentored home-based vegetable gardening intervention and examined changes in health-related outcomes among breast cancer survivors (BCS). BCSs were randomized to either a year-long vegetable gardening intervention to begin immediately or a wait-list control. Master Gardeners (MG) mentored participants in planning, planting and maintaining three seasonal gardens over a year. Participant accrual, retention, and satisfaction rates of ≥80% served as feasibility (primary outcome) benchmarks. Secondary outcomes (i.e., vegetable consumption, physical activity, performance and function, anthropometrics, biomarkers, and health-related quality of life) were collected at baseline and post-intervention (one-year follow-up) using subjective and objective measures. The trial surpassed all feasibility benchmarks: 82% of targeted accrual; 95% retention; and 100% satisfaction (i.e., experience ratings of “Good-to-Excellent” and willingness to “do it again”). Compared to the controls, intervention participants reported significantly greater improvements in moderate physical activity (+14 vs. −17 minutes/week) and demonstrated improvements in the 2-Minute Step Test (+22 vs. +10 steps), and Arm Curl (+2.7 vs +0.1 repetitions) (p-values<0.05). A trend toward improved vegetable consumption was observed (+0.9 vs. +0.2 servings/day; p=0.06). Eighty-six percent continued to garden at two-year follow-up. Findings suggest that a mentored, home-based vegetable gardening intervention proved feasible and offers an integrative and durable approach to improve health behaviors and outcomes among BCSs. Harvest for Health led to establishing a group of trained MGs and gave rise to local and global community-based programs. Larger studies are needed to confirm results and define applicability across broader populations of survivors.
