I've been growing food for over 20 years — through container gardens, 28 raised beds on 3.5 acres, burnout, a life rebuild, and starting over completely. What I have now is small, intentional, and the most joy I've ever had in a garden. I'm Cortney — a Clemson Master Gardener and homeschooling mom of three in Upstate South Carolina. And I can't wait to help you get started. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📱Let’s Connect! 🌎 Website: https://www.cortneygrowsfood.com/ Instagram:   / cortneygrowsfood
