Hi, I’m Debbie. I believe every family can grow at least some of their own food, teach kids successfully and stay calm! Let me show you how.
I’m a veteran homeschooler of 23 years, and an avid organic vegetable gardener for 28 years and…..
Addicted to catching the gleam in a child’s eye when they suddenly “get it”.
With seven children to teach, I integrated as many subjects as possible while keeping several different aged kids interested and learning.
My garden is my “secret garden” where I discover so much about God’s world. Naturally, I learned how to preserve the produce and developed a lot of tips and shortcuts from seed to table.
I can’t wait to share what I learned with you!
