Gardening brings something extra special—the feeling of freedom knowing your family has the ability to provide for themselves. And I’m a firm believer that every family should have this skill not only for their current enjoyment, but also for assurance in their future.

I found out firsthand just how beneficial gardening could be when I was trying to get my health back in order. I reached out to a mentor who gave me advice on ways to use fresh produce from my own garden as medicine. Eventually, she even held a class in my home where she used my produce to teach us all about taking care of our bodies and families with what we had right outside our doors!
