Episode 189: How to Start Growing with No Time, Budget or Space

Be careful what you mention in front of your father-in-law…that's all I'm saying…that's how I ended up with a metric ton of mushroom compost in my driveway, and many wheel barrow trips back and forth later…a garden.

But gardening doesn't actually have to look like that. It can be manageable, it can be small, and it can still make a big difference for your family...

Nicky Schauder and her husband Dave are on a mission to help families grow their own food.

Their garden journey began when their kids were diagnosed with “failure to thrive” due to multiple food allergies. Because of these health issues, they felt called to grow organic at home... and since they have supplied 25% of their fruits and veggies from their tiny townhouse backyard. 

From their permaculture gardens, to speaking at Green Festivals, to their most recent project: A Permaculture Garden Designer App (which successfully launched on Kickstarter last year!), to growing their family of 8...they are doing some pretty amazing and beautiful work in the world.
