Folks who love home-made "yard art" or who grow plants that clash side-by-side, or who don't always roll up their garden hoses, or have neighbors who just don't get it...
Do you strive to blend the joys of cooking and gardening through inspired fruit and vegetable choices for your garden? Then this group is for you. There are thousands of fantastic foods that remain under the culinary radar, which are just a garden plot away from the table.
This group strives to share stories about fantastic fruit, vegetable and herbs, their culture and use. It is a forum for recipe swapping and general reverie in great underappreciated, or virtually unknown, garden heirlooms with unmatched appeal and flavor.
We can all benefit from the experience of others - share your tips for success, horror stories (so we don't make the same mistake!) and favorite plants, designs, and settings. And don't forget to show us your pictures and videos!
Every home and yard has the potential to become an urban homestead. Every family can discover the age old ways of the pioneers who learned how to live off the land instead of out of the store. Centuries of great ideas are unknown today, but through this group we'll rediscover how to grow, make or recycle all we can to live better on less. From the hardscrabble farms of the Ozarks to the California hippie communes, this is where the old may give and the young may learn. Perhaps together we'll get back to the basics of life.
There is no better place for children's learning and family togetherness than the garden. This group is devoted to green-minded families that relish the full wealth of their gardens. It is an idea zone for children’s and family activities, growing tips and garden fresh fun food.
One of my favorite things to do is getting together at my home and having a good old fashion BBQ an patio party. I think this is the real meaning of a garden party. So please join me and lets swap ideas for our next party.
The 4 Step First Garden is the ideal starter project for any family or individual, and this is the place to show and tell, ask and learn as the weeks go past. The garden is in a container so everyone can participate whether you grow on a fire escape or a rental home. Each week we take you step by step into the rewarding world of gardening which means you’ll eat healthier and more cheaply this summer. In the process you’ll learn important basics about containers, soil, plants, and how they interact over the weeks to come. These lessons apply to container gardens or in ground plots, so they’ll become the foundation for a healthy future of healthy organic home-grown food at your house.
