About me
I'm hugely passionate about homegrown food, not only for the delicious eating, and the healing vibes, but the growing bit as well - gardening is awesome! I've spent the last twenty five years with my hands in the dirt growing food for my fam., helping out in school gardens & community gardens, and sharing my tried and true practical ways via talks, workshops, coaching, and my three books.
The more I learn about the complexities and intelligence of nature, the simpler my gardening becomes. And the simpler my gardening becomes, the more achievable it is for everyone. Do-able simplicity is at the heart of Edible Backyard, so that every home-gardener no matter what their situation - money-poor or time-poor, can grow an abundant, food garden.
Everything I've learned is held here on this website in my library of garden writing and advice,
and in my 3 books:
Pruning Fruit Trees: A Beginners Guide,
The Edible Backyard,
Homegrown Fruit: A Practical Guide.
