Did you know folks all over the U.S. are already growing Cannabis at home? Whether you call it hemp or marijuana, enjoy THC and/or CBD, it is easy to grow in your backyard. Penny and Emily are excited to help you get gardening with practical advice and resources for growing at home, as featured by the LA times! Throughout the lecture we will also share a variety of ‘show and tell’ items to demonstrate how to successfully grow at home.
