The RW&G Mission

My plan here is to:

• to create a clearinghouse of viable strategies and accessible resources from which others are inspired to take action to address essential sustainability issues;

• to chronicle and promote the maturation of the grassroots Victory Garden revival;

• to preserve and promote our nation's foodways  with a special emphasis on small-scale, homegrown efforts in America's more outlying regions.


My Credentials

I come from a long line of gardeners, farmers and ranchers. My family has done it all--from raising sheep and cattle to operating a popular cannery to selling produce (fruit and vegetables). If you can grow it in Texas, Tennessee or Kentucky...then it's likely at least one of my kin has tried it. As for me, I've been more of a suburban landscape gal until recently...when I accepted my lot in life. (More about me here)

My garden/landscape is in USDA Hardiness Zone 8B and American Horticultural Society's Heat Zone 9.
