In this episode of the Makers, Dreamers, Doers podcast, Morgan talks with Megan Gilger of Fresh Exchange about the many benefits of gardening, like community building, learning about nature, learning about yourself, as well as, of course, growing and eating the freshest, healthiest food available. We also chat about why we started gardening in the first place and what it means to us, how we can live in reciprocity with the land, chicken-keeping, and the challenges and benefits of gardening with kids.
