Chia-Ming Ro is a garden consultant and creator driven to help clients foster an appreciation for growing their own food and increasing their families food security, with a focus on regenerative farming practices. What started as a childhood hobby has blossomed into a career and a movement. She’s transformed her own home into a developing urban homestead by trading concrete and lawn for raised beds housing edible and pollinator gardens. She’s also working with her city's environmental committee to legalize beekeeping to save the honeybee population and increase pollination for homegrown crops. She gives us a primer on gardening no matter where you are, how to get started, and how to grow effectively.
