I am feeling inspired to go green after watching this clip of the Dervaes family who have turned a house into the Pasadena suburbs into a little patch of Eden. Calling themselves the modern "Laura Ingalls Wilder," this family has transformed their modest 1/10 acre into a flourishing "Urban Homestead."Here they raise grow fruits, vegetables, edible flowers, and even produce their own milk and eggs by raising chickens and goats. This family is truly a go-green-NOW inspiration, and were even featured on Oprah. Their back to basics approach really me want to plant a garden!

I saw this family on Oprah last week. So inspirational! I just helped my mom plant her vegetable garden and it felt so good to be a little self-sufficient. I love going to the garden for ingredients, instead of relying on the grocery store.
Ooh, that is wonderful and inspiring! If only I had a yard!
BTW, you just won the Vintage Tray giveaway on my blog!!! Email me to coordinate shipping...
wow! that would be so cool to have a garden like that. but first i have to learn to keep just basil alive
isn't that amazing? definitely got me thinking.
Wow...what a family!
