- Today, people want locally grown, organic food more than ever before. And that demand for fresh produce is year round - not just in the spring and summer months. Which makes us wonder - how much food can we grow at home when the temperatures outside drop below freezing?
- Although the words "dirt" and "soil" are often used interchangeably, to a gardener, there's a big difference. "Soil" (cue angelic music) is what gives life to a garden - full of organic matter, minerals and nutrients. But not all soil is created equal, which is why it's a great idea to get to know your soil first, so that you can make additions and amendments if anything is lacking.

- Have you ever been driving through a neighborhood and thought this place just feels right? We bet it has to do with all of the mature trees. Trees offer shade in the summer, beautiful colors in the fall, and solid structure in the winter. Plus, they provide much of the oxygen, we as humans, need.
- The garden built is the new home garden set for our show. We're very excited to finally have a home base garden that we can use to grow lots of organic produce, flowers and herbs.

This is an all-organic garden and we'll share with you what works, what doesn't and the challenges as well as the successes we have along the way. Our goal is to help make you a better gardener, while seeing that environmentally responsible choices can still yield a thriving garden and bountiful harvest.

Founders, Mitch and Emily Rales realized they had a duty to the environment and the people that visited their estate museum to keep their land as healthy as possible.
