“I grow plants for many reasons: to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.” – David Hobson
You don't need a big plot of land and heavy machinery to get started - The veggie garden we have in mind needs very little space and don’t cost a lot to get started. And it's great for people who don’t have a lot of practice or confidence in gardening… or a lot of time. The workload is minimal, but the rewards are great, so give it try! GIY – Grow It Yourself!
