Heirloom Gardening
An heirloom vegetable is commonly defined as an open-pollinated variety that is more than 50 years old. Heirloom varieties are grown as a way to diversify crop gene pools.

Using historical planting techniques, God's Gang Planting Dreams students will share ecology information, how to grow and harvest food, man's stewardship of the earth and its animals, and basic gardening and landscaping maintenance skills. There will also be training in the area of harvesting and the establishment of a Farmers Market.

All selected plants were chosen for their historical significance.
