Monday December 3rd at 11am I will be on Rogers TV Barrie sharing why we need to learn to grow our own produce (Fruits, veggies and herbs) and how anyone can do it!

For those of you who will not be able to watch this I wanted to share the information with you.  As a Nutritionist I want my clients to fuel their bodies with the cleanest form of food and nutrition available.  I use whole food bases supplements, get children free whole food supplements, and educate my clients about the importance of eating as nature intended.  Our earth provides everything we need for health.  The problem is, we are destroying our planet and funding its destruction with our purchases!

I know that is a strong statement, but it is the truth.  When we purchase in-organic foods, processed foods, and fast foods, we are supporting the destruction of our planet, the in humane treatment of animals and to top it all off, we are putting poisons in our bodies! It is no wonder cancer is such a huge problem!

I personally feel one of the best things we can do is to start to find ways to support better farming methods by purchasing certified organic, buying from local farmers and growing our own food!

The good news is the technology exists that allows each of us to grow our own produce in our homes in as little as 3 feet of space.


Why is this technology so important?  I will be covering this throughout my segment with Rogers TV.

Using the Tower Garden – Home growing system

1)      Its affordable and saves you money. You can grow up to 20 varieties of organic fruits, veggies and herbs on your garden – think of the money you will save!

2)      More Nutritous foods. No chemicals and a more nutritious growing environment than the depleted soil most of our foods are grown in.

3)      Organic. No chemicals required (reduced risks for cancer – think of our children and the environment we want to leave them).

4)      Recycles water.  Our planet is running out of clean water.  Your Tower Garden recycles the same water over and over again.  No watering required.

5)      Its simple and mess free.  There is no soil required. When the unit is on (15 on, and 30 minutes off) you plants are nourished with high nutrient recycled water. When the unit is off your plants are fed oxygen.  This results in faster growth and more yield. (Tower Garden uses less electricity than a lightbulb!)

6)      We are changing our childrens future.  As a mom of 4 there is nothing more important to me.  They need a clean earth, clean water and clean food.  When we home garden we are changing their expectations of food and how we treat the earth. What an impact this will have!

7)      Supports a cleaner environment.  You can significantly reduce your global footprint by growing your own produce.  Here in Canada produce is shipped in during the winter months.  This is encouraging the depletion of fossil fuels, increases pollution and supports in-organic farming methods.  Using a Tower Garden SAVES WATER, LAND AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

I hope you are feeling inspired!  We can make such an enormous difference in our world, our health and for our children, by being conscious consumers.  I truly believe this technology is our future. I hope to see you join us and learn more about vertical gardening.
