A few years back, my extended family took a trip to Holland, Michigan. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. My garden. The more kids I could “adopt”, the better!

Coined in 1973 by Liz Christy and her Green Guerrilla group in New York City, guerrilla gardening uses “seed grenades” as a way of introducing vegetation to empty lots in NYC in order to make the city look better.
