Growing food and growing community | Marjory Wildcraft, The Grow Network |

Why grow food in urban spaces? How do we get started with home gardening? How can we build community around our gardens? In this episode, we talk about the healing and transformative power of growing part of our food and also discuss resources for people who wish to get started on this journey. Marjory Wildcraft is the female leader of the survival and preparedness movement. In 2009 she founded The Grow Network, which is a community of people focused on modern self-sufficient living. She has been featured by National Geographic as an expert in off-grid living, she hosted the Mother Earth News Online Homesteading Summit, and she is listed in Who’s Who in America for having inspired hundreds of thousands of backyard gardens. Marjory was the focus of an article that won Reuter’s Food Sustainability Media Award, and she recently authored The Grow System: The Essential Guide to Modern Self-Sufficient Living—From Growing Food to Making Medicine. She is best known for her DVD series Grow Your Own Groceries, which has over a million copies in use by homesteaders, foodies, preppers, universities, and missionary organizations around the world.
