From my childhood growing up in the Caribbean plants have been a key part of my life. My dad filled every available space on the property we lived with every possible type of trees for food and medicinal purposes. Its been quite a journey, one in which I have learned a great deal. Which I would like to share with others and also continue learning from fellow gardeners as well.
I am also a Seventh Day Adventist, a denomination of Christians with a very strong focus on healthy living. I’ve been an Adventist for most of my life. Being around people who are so fervent about keeping the body healthy not just for the sake of it. But because we believe the human body is created in the image of God we feel we have an obligation to take care of our bodies.
This is also one the sources of my passion for gardening. Its important more than ever before, that people in general start cultivating a sense of independence when it comes to sourcing foods, taking a closer look at what goes into their bodies. Will help to prevent diseases, such as cancer and heart-related illnesses.
