Shawnee Grows

About the channel

Growing food is about more than having a beautiful garden. It's about feeding your family, becoming more self-reliant, saving money, and reconnecting with where your food comes from. Here at Shawnee Grows, I show people why it matters to grow more of their own food—and how to get started with confidence. You'll find practical gardening tips for beginners, food-growing inspiration, companion planting, regenerative soil practices, edible landscaping, survival gardening, and honest lessons learned along the way. I'm gardening in Minnesota (Zone 4b/5a), growing food in a food forest, grocery row gardens, annual vegetable gardens, strawberry patch, rain garden, butterfly garden, wildflower garden, and more. Whether you're growing a single tomato plant or working toward filling your pantry, you're welcome here. Plant what you eat. Eat what you grow. Learn as you grow.
