Want to Grow your own Vegetables?


Here’s Some Local Online Resources to Help You

It will help you gather knowledge about growing your own food, getting what you need for your garden, even where you can find a place to grow fruits and vegetables, what to do with your bounty once you’ve harvested it, raising ducks and chickens in your backyard and even how to keep bees.

Shonnard’s Nursery  6600 SW Philomath Blvd.
