I can’t believe I haven’t introduced you yet to the “other” Garden Girl! She’s the one that actually gardens! Her name is Patti Moreno and she’s amazing. She is a total city girl who decided to take her 3/4 acre property in Roxbury and turn it into a sustainable garden. She not only does that, but she also has turned it into quite a business – filming segments for online viewing and also appearing on Farmer’s Almanac TV on PBS (sadly, not in Boston…). She was recently featured in a great Boston Globe Magazine article as well (http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2008/08/17/green_acres_in_roxbury/)
Her website is an amazing source of all things “green” – green living tips, recipes – and of course gardening tips. Her gardening information, while clearly helpful for urbanites – is also totally applicable to suburbanites as well. And with rising food costs – wouldn’t it be great to grow some of your own food?
I invite you to check out her website athttp://www.gardengirltv.com and definitely sign up for her newsletter. It has tons of information and is fun to read.
