Day 3 - The Little Veggie Patch

We are giving away a Little Veggie Patch Co. 'Grow. Food. Anywhere.' Book and a Slim memobottle. Simply follow both @littleveggiepatchco and @memobottle on Instagram and tag a friend to enter. The winner will be announced on the 10th of December.

The Little Veggie Patch started when Dillon and Mat installed raised garden beds and edible gardens into homes around Australia, but it soon became a platform to show everyone that, no matter how small the space, it was possible to grow your own food.

The Little Veggie Patch Company sells 40 different types of heirloom seeds, along with various books on how to grow your own food and how to build your own backyard veggie garden.

Dillon and Mat want to encourage everyone to grow their own food culture, that consists of tending to your edible garden and then preparing delicious meals to be shared with friends and family.

It is unfortunate but a lot of vegetables travel an average of 1,500+ miles before ever being consumed. By growing your own food, you are helping to reduce the high amounts of fossil fuels that fill our environment as a direct result of importing foods from commercial farmers. You also are reducing waste from food packaging materials such as man-made plastics and cardboard, that also travel hundreds and thousands of miles.
