The Garden Culture Podcast with Bailey Van Tassel

Let's take a peek into gardening in 2023, what we're talking about here on the podcast, what I'll be focusing on in the garden, and over in The Kitchen Garden Society. 

Things I do to take stock of heading into the new year:

This episode inspired me so much! Wow. Jordan and Silvan have found some innovative ways to live off the land without actually owning any land! They also go into this seasonal challenge that they do, their staple crops, how and where they grow, and so much more. 

Jordan and Silvan are experienced farmers and sustenance gardeners who specialize in small-scale food production in an urban environment. After running a small organic CSA farm in North Carolina for a couple of years, Silvan and Jordan relocated to Pittsburgh and focused on making their home garden and community garden plots a source of abundant food and education. In addition to their popular Instagram and TikTok profiles where they share their journey eating what they grow, forage and hunt, Silvan and Jordan both write freelance gardening articles for the online publication Wild & Whole. They also just finished their comprehensive online gardening and preserving course, The Complete Guide to Growing Your Own Food.

This is Bailey's monthly gardening subscription where we get you your best season yet! It's where gardening meets life, saves you time, and keeps you inspired. 

There are plenty of ways to garden without any land! Believe me, I know from experience! I review eight ways that you can start gardening with no acreage, most of which I have tried and done myself! This could also be explained as "urban gardening", small space gardening, balcony gardening, etc. - anyone that doesn't have a lot of space or access to in-ground planting. 

First, thank you to my members in The Kitchen Garden Society - my monthly membership. We are staying on track in the garden together, as well as infusing our lives with the magic of seasonal eating, living daily in the rhythms of nature, and so much more. I'll hope you'll check it out!
