The gardens at the Homestead serve two main purposes – to gladden the heart and nourish the body and soul. Many, if not most of my daytime hours are spent outdoors, prepping, planting, tending, harvesting – feeding, cleaning, repeat.

There is something very powerful that happens when we become closely connected with the food we eat.  The great interest in ‘farm to table’ food speaks to this.

Hopefully through this portal, you will find help and inspiration in your gardening endeavors, whether your fields be acres of fertile ground or a gathering of pots on a small sunny porch.
