Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Gary MacDougall food grower and garden educator.
My Wife and I started with a small plot of food because it was fun to feed our little children under 5 at the time, fresh, juicy and delicious tomatoes from the garden. The more our kids ate the more excited we got and so it began. We tore up our front yard in the city and turned it into a food producing space! Since then we have learned how much our choice to do so contributes positively to the environment - something of course is important to us as we want the best plant possible for our kiddos!
