Hello and .......

Welcome....to my blog "Grow Food with JOY!"

My name is Joy Story and I'm an avid gardener who believes that food is so important, that we all need to be growing it.

In May of 2010 , I began my business GROW FOOD Edible Garden Designs. I offer Garden Consulting, Designing, Gardening Classes and this online monthly blog as well as sell Organic seeds that we collect in our demonstration garden.

Our Organic Gardening Classes are called "Grow Food with JOY!" How I use perma-culture in my Backyard." We discuss all aspects to consider when designing your edible garden. Perma-Culture uses Mother Nature as a model with an emphasis on caring for the earth and caring for people.
So far, "Grow Food with JOY" has a series of 7 different classes with more being created all the time. Check out our Class Schedule on the website.

NEW Farmer's Market in South Cowichan


THURSDAYS IN COBBLE HILL

Having troubles growing a certain crop?
Was the timing not right for this year's weather?
Or would you like to sell your excess?
"Have your garden and eat it, too... and eat from other growers, too"
Try the Thursday Farmers Market for fresh vegetables and fruit grown on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. On occasion there will be the customary fruit shipments from the Okanagan. (Please note: At the THURSDAY FARMERS MARKET, all produce is to be free of exposure to, or application of any toxic substances from seed to the consumer taking possession. If fertilizer or treated seed is used, that food item is to have a card placed beside it when offered for sale.) Busy gardeners can also find baked goods, island-grown meat, and prepared foods like pesto and jam. And shoppers could be treated to your harvest that you might bring to market! Please call Islanders Trading 250 510 8343 for more information and note that 3-4 gardening friends are permitted to share one Full Space for vending. For larger growers that are short on time or do not like to sell, it is permitted to authorize someone else who is knowledgeable and informed to sell your produce for you. 

You are invited every Thursday, 2:00-7:00 pm. outdoors at the Cobble Hill Hall..."to market, to market, to buy some fresh food, home again home again in a satisfied mood!"
