Growing your Garden
with Gwen, the Fearless Gardener
Small pot or big plot – you can start growing your own food and medicines. It is January 2026, and things are uncertain and food security is becoming more and more important. As someone who has grown food and herbs, both in the city and in rural areas, it is time I share what I know. I believe you can do it to! Green thumb or not, lets get growing together.
Gwen, the Fearless Gardener
you can be fearless too
Years ago, my neighbour started calling me the Fearless Gardener as I tried growing everything I wanted in my backyard in town. I learned from my mistakes, laughed at my utter failures, and shared my harvest. My motto was, and still is, the worst that will happen is it will die!
This site is about growing things, and learning what to do with your harvest. About being proud of your accomplishments from a pot of basil to a plot of veggies. And about reclaiming food sovereignty on a small scale for you, your family, and your community.
