I have never grown a food plant before and so this assignment is helping me do, and create, new things alongside all of you. Being able to grow your own food not only involves responsibility, but also independence. By growing your own food plant, that could possibly be one less herb, vegetable, or fruit, that you will not need to go to the store to buy!
For my first plant, I chose sage. Sage is an aromatic herb that smells amazing when you add it to a pan of oil. It adds amazing flavour to dishes as well. I chose sage because it reminds me of when I tried to cook gnocchi with my cousin.
Some techniques and materials that I used in this sample are: nail polish, newspaper, Sharpie markers, paper bags, and thread. I found all of these things in my home.
Try and look around your own homes for things that you can use to create your zines!
