In The Garden With Nik – A Video Series
This is all about my family’s journey to self-sufficiency by growing, eating, and sharing our food in our small-ish backyard garden. We are in Houston, TX – zone 9a – and have unique “seasons”, challenges, & BUGS! And I share as much of it all as I can. This is my 5th year gardening so I’m still a newbie & am constantly learning SO much. So I figured why not learn & grow together with you!
Where can I start? At the beginning. Why I garden! This video pretty much sums things up.
Self-care for me is more than hair care & facials. It’s literally about how you treat yourself inside & out. It’s about what you feed your body & soul.
And that’s how gardening = self-care for me. I grow what we eat which means I’m feeding my body great food, and gardening feeds my soul in many ways.
Other benefits of gardening:
- Great exercise
- Helps lower anxiety
- Helps reduce stress
- Vitamin D!
- Self-sufficiency
- Saves money!
And I’m sure there’s SO much more! YOU are more than anything. YOU are what you eat, think, dream, believe, and work toward.

Either way you’ll be notified whenever I share a new gardening video!
