Gardening is for everyone!

There are no rules in gardening. Everything we’ve learned these past few years has been through trial and error. Throwing things into the ground to see what grows…and what doesn’t. 

By collaborating with experienced gardeners in your area, reading as much as you can, and simply experimenting with your garden, anyone can grow a garden.

Gardening is revolutionary

Whether you are growing food for yourself or wildlife, tending to the earth involves a willingness to venture outside of your comfort zone. You aren’t in control of your garden, merely a part of it.
