It is such a joy being able to walk right outside your home and pick some fresh kale to steam or lettuce for a salad. There's truly nothing like eating the freshly grown goodness straight from your backyard. Bear feels the same! He gets super excited to eat the things we grow and really enjoys watering the veggie beds. I highly recommend getting your little ones involved in gardening, to whatever degree you can! Whether it's baby herbs or a pot with planted tomatoes... Kids are more much likely to eat vegetables when they watch them grow and helped care for them :) Having our garden has upgraded our life in so many ways. First off, way fresher foods that are picked at the source have higher nutrients than something sitting on a refrigerated shelf for a couple of days. It also eliminates the 'food miles' associated with hauling that piece of produce from some farm 5 hours away to the grocery store. Don't get me wrong, we definitely visit the grocery store regularly for different items, but since maintaining our own veggie garden, our need to purchase produce from the grocery store or farmers market has been reduced! Growing in your community is not only eco, but it's also economical and saves you $ overtime! Another thing I love about our garden is maintaining our compost bin, so any kitchen organic food scraps we have, get recycled and turn into nutritious vitamins to help feeds our garden's soil. It's a beautiful little cycle that occurs between my kitchen, compost bin, and veggie beds! Lastly! Our fruit trees are fed from our bath and shower water. Greywater rules!!! Greywater saves 40,000 gallons of water per year, water that would otherwise be pumped hundreds of miles from the Colorado or Sacramento rivers at a huge material and ecological cost. If you are in the LA region and interested in greywater, I encourage you to get in touch with @GreywaterCorps, they are awesome! You can learn all about my greywater adventure on my blog thekindlife.com. I hope this garden tour recap was inspiring to you! We are lucky here in our home, but gardens can occur in many forms!
