Sustainability, Tower Gardening and serving as a Master Gardener
In 1995 I went to the Lost Valley Educational Center in Dexter, Oregon and my eyes opened wide to the magic behind living off the grid, growing your own food, and healing with plants. I fell in love with the concepts of earthships, urban farming, herbalism, and sustainability.
In 2010 I went to work for the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and when I was introduced to the Tower Garden in 2014, I knew this would be my future. It just makes sense - a simpler, safer, more economical, more sustainable way to grow food for my family. Learn more about the Tower here: www.andreakennedy.TowerGarden.com
But I still do love getting dirty in the summer, and joined the ranks of the Colorado State University Master Gardeners in 2015 and love volunteering in that capacity to help others grow better.

I am super passionate about growing food, and currently am excited to be growing nutrient-dense, vine-ripe greens for our local food bank, Lift Up.
In just 3 months, we harvested over 16 pounds of greens from five Tower Gardens that are placed around our community. If you would like to learn more about this model and duplicate that in your own community, let's schedule a chat at your convenience!
Here are a few more photos of that growing project as well.
