Creating Self-Sustainability in Your Home

Upon purchasing my home in 2019, my goal was to turn my home in to a sanctuary filled with many different species of plants to serve as a place of relaxation. I knew this would be very challenging because I was moving my wife, and kids to the desert where individuals have difficulty growing plants. I started off by buying and building two greenhouses. One greenhouse serves as a house for my organic cannabis plants, and the second greenhouse houses my starter plants, and different plants depending on what time of the year it is. I have been pretty successful with growing plants, and harvesting them. I have also had some failures from simple mistakes I’ve made during the winter season. All in all, the whole family have been involved in turning our yard in to a mini agricultural farm, and a sanctuary for plants.

Along with my two greenhouses, I built 6 raised beds using bricks. I filled them with a mixture of organic soil, native soil, and compost. Having 6 raised beds, and two greenhouses gives me endless opportunities to grow many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. I have well over 50 plants and seedlings that are growing in both our greenhouses, and raised beds. They are flourishing, and I am always sowing new seeds. I organize my beds by what grow well together, and I am prepping new areas in my yard for planting. I have a wide range of plants in my yard. Here are the different variety of plants I have to show how you can create self-sustainability in your yard.

Oregano, marjoram, mint, chocolate mint, spearmint, peppermint, sweet mint, sage, rosemary, chamomile, aloe vera, lavender, Spanish lavender, cannabis, parsley, cilantro, purple basil, curly kale, dinosaur kale, swiss chard, arugula, purple tomatoes, strawberries, goji berries, blueberries, watermelons, cucumbers, yellow peppers, jalapeños, lemon tree, lime tree, strawberry guava tree, plum tree, pear tree, almond tree, cherry tree, and more than what I can think of at this current moment.

My goal is to show and teach individuals how to utilize what they have to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Plants can be used as food and medicine. It is important that we learn how to tap in to all that plants have to offer. Plants can be used as a tool to help us deal with our mental health, and overall health.

Who We Are

Many of us are plagued with poor health due to the lack of resources in our communities. Many of us are faced to overcome liquor stores, and fast food restaurants on every corner. Many of us have been passed down poor health choices and diets from our parents, and elders who have been misled in the same direction. Health is the most important factor to living a happy life. As a Matter of fact, good health is linked to individuals living a happy, fulfilling life. When we think of health, we usually think of diet and exercise. Health is more than the food we put in our bodies. Health is being connected to, and having the ability to redirect our thoughts (mental health). Health is how we take care of our outer bodies (physical health), and our connection to the universe, and an entity that’s greater than us (spiritual health). The beautiful thing about approaching health is that all aspects of our health are connected. For an example, meditation approaches the mind, body, and spirit. Plant medicine powers the mind, and cures the body which helps you become closer to your spiritual self. Many of us think it’s impossible to obtain optimal health, but it’s not. The mind, body, and spirit is intertwined.
