Just Grow Something: Evidence-Based Home Gardening
I started gardening in 2004 as a way to help cut my family's food budget and quickly discovered a love for digging in the dirt and providing for others.
Fast forward to today and I own a 40-acre market farm serving a 75-member community supported agriculture program and selling at three farmer's markets every week. I went back to school and earned my Bachelor's of Science in horticulture and, along the way, discovered there is so much power in food.
I love that visceral feeling of providing for myself and want to help YOU to do the same. No matter what sized space you have, even a single pot in a windowsill, I believe everyone should have the knowledge needed to provide a little something for themselves.
There is power in food. Just grow something!
Your Friend in the Garden,
