How to Start a Survival Garden
​Are you self-sustainable? You may need to be soon. Learn to grow your own food, whether in soil on your property, in containers, or in a community garden plot.
We will discuss seeds, soil, tools, plant care, harvesting, seed saving, medicinal herbs, perennials, and even good weeds that are edible that you may not want to kill. Bring a sandwich and a drink and enjoy a working lunch on the farm.
