Farm Project Description
Our vision is to grow plants that keep pests and disease away from gardens such as marigolds, lavender, catmint, basil and take our plants to a farmers market with handouts and posters teaching people how to garden without pesticides. We would also like to grow cucumbers and other vegetables using companion gardening to produce our veggies without pesticides. We would like to use tunnel greenhouses.
