Lydia Martens wants her community in North Central to know they can grow their own food. That's why the Regina woman is growing an abundance of vegetables and herbs. "This time of the year my hands are never clean," Martens said, as she stood in her front yard on the 800 block of Garnet Street. She's taken a twist on the traditional gardening by using a method called micro-gardening. 

Rows upon rows of produce are growing at the side of her house and in her backyard. She sowed individual plants in milk jugs which she then stacked on shelves.
