Chad and Stacie Vanags' backyard cutting garden has become a healing sanctuary for the couple and others, following Chad's stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis.
Eight months after her husband, Chad, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, Stacie Vanags planted 1,100 flower seeds in her Ventura backyard. 'Something called me to do it,' Stacie said of her tiny flower farm. 'I needed a sanctuary.' Chad, 40, and Stacie, 43, were already growing vegetables, tending a flock of free-roaming chickens and three cats and dreaming of building an urban farm on their half-acre of land next to the 101 Freeway in Midtown.
’” While Chad was in India shooting what he describes as a 'mission-based, purpose-driven adventure travel show' with his brother, Stacie spent three weekends layering her garden plots with organic compost after reading Erin Benzakein's book 'Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden: Grow, Harvest & Arrange Stunning Seasonal Blooms' and watching YouTube videos.
