It's no secret that grocery store food prices are on the rise, the quality of industrial produce is often low and that home-grown food can save energy, money and promote natural health. Like our ancestors, citizens across America are relearning how to garden in city and country backyards, creating local harvests for themselves and their families. And one way they're doing it is with small, covered, raised garden beds filled with rich, clean dirt and a removable glass top called cold frames. Join us to hear what proponents have to say about this simple and inexpensive way to grow food at home, with extended growing seasons.
