Plant a variety of fruits and vegetables to grow your own food, save money, and promote a healthy lifestyle. Gardening also provides gentle exercise while teaching planning and planting skill.
Making Our Own Fertilizer
Create natural, homemade fertilizer to help plants grow healthier, stronger, and larger. Using composted organic materials not only nourishes the soil but also supports sustainable gardening practices and reduces waste.
