About
An edible gardening service unlike any other in South Florida as we do more than just help you grow vegetables we teach you how to grow, cook, and eat your own food, saving you hundreds of dollars each season while bringing to your family the healthiest and most nitritious foods you can.
The work is rewarding as it allows me the opportunity to combine my passion for growing and cooking food with teaching as not many can wear as many hats as The Gourmet Gardener wears. We are in over 150 Broward county schools and the smile on childrens faces when they swee a tomato on the vine or a carrot wedge its way out from the soil is priceless...
