Garden in a Bag" is simply the most nutritious and wonderful way to grow a garden all year long indoors with only water, no soil or sun required and it only takes 4-6 days to harvest. Please keep it in mind for any events, nothing more local, fresher or more nutritious. For more info email me...working on a website
