Herbs + Garden

The garden is an amazing place to start living a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Whether you’ve got a backyard, a few raised beds, or a sunny windowsill, growing your own food (and especially herbs!) is one of the simplest, most rewarding steps toward a more self-sufficient life.

This category is here to help you start where you are—without the overwhelm. You’ll find:

  • A guide on how to plan your first-ever garden!
  • Inspiration on how to start your own raised beds, what to grow in them, and even how to harvest! 
  • How to grow your own herbs (or how to choose the best ones to buy) and how to use them in herbal remedies, teas, and more!

Let’s grow a garden that works for your life and rhythms—no pressure, just progress.
