Hello bloggers! Thank you for following our journey on helping to promote why it is important to make your own gardens. This group and blog started as an objective for out projects in our sociology class at St. Thomas University. Our group was to plan and promote how people can have a garden and the benefits of creating one. In order to complete this project, our group had to meet on a weekly basis. We created a blog to help promote our group, “Grow Food Not Lawns”. We decided that we would like to set a goal for the blog; we wanted it to get at least 300 views. This blog reached 400 views and we have viewers from all over the world such as Czech Republic, Argentina and the UK to name a few. This blog far exceeded my expectations. I would have been completely content with having viewers from our own province, so the fact that we have people recognizing our efforts in promoting self-efficiency is incredible!
My job within the group was to find information to share with all of you bloggers so you can have facts about how to start your own garden whether it was indoors or out and also how much starting a garden would cost. As well, I researched some of the health benefits of growing your own garden. By doing just simple research, it really opened my eyes to how important it is to be able to have some level of self-efficiency. Not only do you get food that isn’t sprayed with horrible chemicals and is overpriced, but I learned that it helps to eliminate stress! Whether you have yard space or not is irrelevant because you can grow lots of different foods inside of your home. This project became more than a project for me, it became a new outlook on how I should be living my life. We should all take the initiative to try and grow our own food and to help promote it also!
Thanks for following the blog!
