Small Space Garden Box

Exceptional Determination! That is what it takes to reclaim our rightful place of wonderful health. It is difficult in this 24/7 world of stress and processed food but the goal is reachable.The practice of Nutritional Therapy is a little different than other nutrition consultants. We have many tools in which we use to get a very thorough understanding of where our clients are nutritionally and what systems we can support for optimal health. We use a detailed symptom survey, a thorough interview, a food journal and we also conduct a hands-on functional evaluation. The functional evaluation is a process in which I will check many different reflex points on the body in order to determine specific nutritional deficiencies.
After I conduct the evaluation, I will test different supplements against the results so that I may provide you with a tailored protocol that is specifically designed for you. Your body will make it clear what supplements you respond to favorably and what will aide you in your path to reach optimal health.

Many people who see my greenhouse may feel it is more than they are willing to tackle. An alternative is a garden box that can be used even in an apartment environment. You can even use scrap would and line the box with plastic to preserve the wood longer. You never want to use treated wood when growing food. As you can see, this 7.5"x2.5" box fits on an apartment patio. Benjamin is growing Swiss chard, kale, lettuce, spinach and onions!

The last two pictures are a garden box we built out of scrap material and the hooped covering is a combination of plastic and shade cloth. Shade cloth can be found at most garden shops and keeps 50% of the suns rays out, preventing burning of the plants at this intense altitude of 9400 feet. If placed only on the top portion of the hoop, it will also let the rain through.

These are both examples of starting small when you may have an interest in gardening but don't know where to begin.
