In the Marbridge Food Garden
Growing some of your own food and cooking from the garden can be an empowering experience.
It sure is for some of the residents of Marbridge Farm & Ranch. Residents who wish to learn, and are able, spend time raising and tending food gardens.
Those who live in the independent living cottages even cook from the garden.
Some of the residents are longtime gardeners, and have learned a thing or three about growing, and wanted to share some tips with listeners and web visitors to help all of you grow good gardens, too.

Hi Robert,
Greenhouses are great additions to the garden, and I hope you can get yours up and running soon. Where did you get your used greenhouses? Those are the folks with whom you ought to talk about manufacturers and guidance on construction. I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with any of that.
Good luck,
Cecilia
