My Garden Granny Era: Why I’m All In on Growing My Own Food, Ditching Big Ag and Taking Back Our Food for Our Kid's and Families Health

from Girl, Do It Yourself Podcast · host Jessica Dowd

In this episode of Girl, Do It Yourself, I’m sharing my personal journey into gardening—why I believe everyone should have a garden, no matter the size. I talk about how growing my own food has helped me reconnect with nature, boost my health, and create deeper bonds with my kids. I’ll take you through the history of gardening, from ancient times to victory gardens and today’s industrial agriculture, and explain why small gardens matter now more than ever. I’m also sharing practical tips for getting started, the easiest plants to grow, and how gardening can be both therapeutic and empowering. Whether you’re working with a balcony, a backyard, or just a few containers, I’ve got you covered. Let’s grow something good together.
