Introducing Milled Artistry’s Kitchen Garden Series

Or maybe you’ve tried your hand at a windowsill garden only to wonder why your green thumb looks more like a death sentence for plants. If the idea of growing a simple kitchen garden that thrives, cooking with fresh ingredients, or learning how to make wholesome meals feels like a dream, *Milled Artistry’s Kitchen Garden Series* is here to turn that dream into reality.

Why a Kitchen Garden? Why Now?

In talking with home cooks across the western states, I discovered something surprising: only 50% of them knew how to cook dried beans, and even fewer—just 25%—felt confident they could figure it out in a pinch. If these pantry staples seem intimidating, you’re not alone. But what if you didn’t have to rely on prepackaged, processed food? What if you could grow and cook with fresh ingredients—even in the dead of winter—without breaking the bank? 
 
The Kitchen Garden Series is here to show you how to grow simple, easy plants right in your windowsill. We’ll teach you how to cook and bake with fresh, nutritious ingredients like dried beans, whole grains, and vibrant veggies. These aren’t just cooking lessons; they’re life lessons, rooted in old homesteading secrets, that can save you money and bring a little bit of green into even the gloomiest months.
