Home Garden Joy is a gardening website to help people who kill plastic plants learn how to grow delicious, organic food: fruit, vegetables, and herbs. We also include recipes, so you can cook what you grow, and information on preserving vegetables. And, because we believe that gardening is both a healthy activity and can support good health, we feature herb gardening, herbal medicine, and garden-related health and wellness articles.
Jeanne’s Story – How Home Garden Joy Began
In 2007, we did what our family and friends said was crazy. We sold our New York City area home and moved to a 17-acre farm in rural Virginia. I had learned to garden from my father, an avid plantsman and participant in the Long Island Chrysanthemum Society, and from my next-door neighbor, a retired chemistry teacher who transformed his suburban backyard into a mini farm. Now, I finally had a chance to grow my dream garden. With tons of help from my husband and father-in-law, we built a large raised bed garden, erected a shed, and planted over a dozen fruit trees. I have since added herb gardens, an elaborate perennial flower garden, and taught myself how to can and preserve food. I was a Virginia Master Gardener (but have since stepped aside.)
