Hey there, friends! I’m Michael Love, “your neighborhood garden enthusiast.” ” your fellow food-growing fanatic.” I’ve been ‘playing in the dirt’ my entire life. Starting out next to my grandfather as he tended to our garden when I was nothing more than a sprout. These special times instilled in me a love for nurturing plants, and they taught me patience and work ethic. Mostly though, I loved the dirt. These memories of helping to grow our own food has done nothing but grow my passion (pun intended) for gardening since then.
I’ve recruited some of my like-minded friends and together we launched Home Gardening Club, as we’re pretty stoked (yeah, I’m from California) to spread the joy (and knowledge) about gardening with people from every background. Official green thumb or looking to try, we are here for all things homegrown! Let’s face it, the big food industry hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory: freshness issues; dodgy-chemical disclosure and heaven-knows what else! But guess what? I’m going to say pass on that. Right now, we hold in our two hands — quite literally on the ends of our forks — the power to move this revolution forward.
Local, yes, but we also would like to take it a step further and explore something crazy… taking responsibility for you and your family’s food security. You don’t need acres of land or an elaborate greenhouse (though, we will be talking about greenhouses) to get you started growing your own fresh and flavorful fruits, vegetables and herbs. You’re honestly able to do so much more than you realize with limited space. We’re here for you! (every step of the way)
Wouldn’t it be lovely to pick a ripe, juicy tomato right off the vine on your balcony and have fresh basil right from a planter on the kitchen windowsill? Sounds amazing, right? It can be done, and it’s easier than expected! At Home Gardening Club we believe that every person can be a successful gardener no matter what the size of your living space. We have only one DREAM to rekindle this lost art form by helping every individual sow, reap and enjoy produce in harmony with nature!
Here, we will present all the tips, tricks and inspiration you may need to
transform your home into a small oasis of freshness.
We’ll trade tales, celebrate victories and even commiserate with a good-natured chuckle when we fail — (and don’t worry, I’ve every mistake in the book). After all, I’ve eaten enough crooked carrots and ate my way passed more than a few rebellious radishes. Trial and error is the fun part of learning.
So why not join me on this amazing gardening adventure?
No matter how little space you have, don’t despair. In this section we cover what it takes to grow in small spaces — including container gardens and vertical gardening—and include tips on sneaking some green into your living room. From preparing your soil and choosing what seeds to plant to deal with the most annoying garden pests (without using awful products), we’ll cover it all!
Ultimately, what we’re trying to cultivate here is not just food or plants, but a community where we can share in each other’s victories and put on our boots for the times things don’t go as planned. The other thing is that I grow it, and there’s just something so satisfying about eating something you watch through the whole process of growing from seed to fruit and knowing that it doesn’t get any fresher or more chemical-free than this!
Ready to go or just want to see what all the hype is? Awesome! Whether you want to start small with a couple of herbs or jump straight into your very own vegetable garden, we’re here to help you and encourage you along the way. We can change our homes and our lives with gardening. Let’s do it together!
Let’s get growing, friends. Your future harvests await! 🌱🌿🍅
