FEED YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY & YOUR COMMUNITY
Many of us want to save grocery money or just have the satisfaction of producing our own food. Even if you have only a small space or a barren lot, you can transform your plot of earth into a productive garden that will feed many. We proved it can be done in an old parking lot at Santa Fe Greenhouses. Greg Tickle will show you how, step by step, using the same seeds, soils, and plants sold in our greenhouses.
