Garden and Natural Environment
From Sustainable Ballard
Welcome!
The focus of our guild is to educate ourselves about gardening sustainably with a particular interest in producing our own food in our own backyards,roof tops, pea-patches and pots.
This enhances our health and food security while reducing the impact on our environment and is loads of fun too!
