In uncertain times, a victory garden can provide you with nutritious food and valuable medicinal herbs.
Growing your own plants puts you in control of your health and wellbeing. If food shortages happen, the supply chain breaks, or general chaos causes food and medicine shortages, you’ll be prepared…
And, in the meantime, you’ll have some fantastic plants spicing up your yard, deck, and indoor window sills!
How to Start Your Garden
Select plants that will nourish your body and relieve common ailments. Many plants do double duty for both food and medicine, especially herbs.
And there are some plants that will vanish faster than all others in a crisis. So the only way to make sure you have them when you need them is to grow them in your own backyard… and the great thing about seeds is that they self-reproduce, giving you extra bartering power should you need it.
Consider planting powerful medicinal herbs like echinacea, which can help fight infections, along with vitamin-rich vegetables like kale and spinach.
Even a few pots on a balcony can make a difference.
In a crisis, a garden allows you to share extras with your community to build resilience. By growing natural remedies in your victory garden, you’ll be prepared to care for yourself and your loved ones.
