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.

"EAT WHAT YOU GROW"



By Joy Story

As each season passes, I learn more about how to GROW FOOD all year round and it’s my goal to share what I learn, especially from other gardeners, with GROW FOOD subscribers. 

Now I want to challenge myself further and to “Eat What I Grow”  Walk the talk, so to speak.  I would also welcome others to join me in this challenge of eating more  from my garden and buying less from grocery stores and trading whenever we can.

I will use our “GROW FOOD with JOY” blog to track my success and share some challenges.  Gardeners who want to make comment or share their stories are welcome to join in.  I believe “A wise person learns from others, rather than having to do it all themselves.”

What better way to begin than listing all the foods I am harvesting from my garden right now.
