Growing food is our passion, and it's a passion that we want to share in every way possible. This is why for the second year running we’re bringing you our Farmer to Gardener webinar series; an opportunity to share our veg growing knowledge with all of the enthusiastic home gardeners out there! Whether you have been growing food for years, or are just starting out, Farmer Jo will have tips and tricks to take your vegetable garden to the next level.

Tending a garden is a perfect example of how one needs to focus on the journey, not just the destination. Gardening isn’t simply about the final harvest, it’s about all of the care, thought, and attention put into it throughout the course of the season. Getting out into your garden on a regular basis allows for mindful presence, a connection to the earth and natural environment, and builds a relationship with your plants. This presence, along with regular maintenance, will allow you, and your garden, to bloom.

Choosing what to grow in your vegetable garden is at once a fun, and sometimes overwhelming, undertaking. When you look at all of the options available it is easy to get carried away, or overcome by choice! Learning which vegetables and varieties work best for both you and your garden can be the process of a lifetime, but Farmer Jo has a few ideas to get you started.
