About this week's Guest, Lamanda Joy and the Peterson Garden Project:
It's true that most people today don't know how to grow food, but it's a
challenge we've met before. During WWII Chicagoans started 1,500
commnunity gardens, known as Victory Gardens. And more than 250,000
people started home gardens, too. They did it all in four short years,
and 90% of the people had never gardened before.
We just know that there is a better way to eat, a better way to garden, and a better way to sustain our natural resources. Have we piqued your curiosity? Tempted you with thoughts of mouth-watering food and connections to your neighbors and community? We certainly hope so. Whether you want to roll up your sleeves and garden, volunteer, donate or learn, we'd just love to show you what we're doing and why we think you'll love it, too. | ||
