Show Notes
Oklahoma garden designer Linda Vater loves to create elegant edible gardens. Her work is inspired by the tradition of the potager garden.
We talk about:
- Potager gardens
- Making ornamental and elegant edible gardens
- Design elements such as enclosure
- How to design your own potager-style garden
Linda's new book is The Elegant & Edible Garden.
In the second part of the show we catch up with Sunday Harrison from Green Thumbs Growing Kids in Toronto. We're big fans of this non-profit that brings gardening to school kids and communities in downtown neighbourhoods.
We find out more about their model, which solves a common challenge of school gardens: Summer.
We talk about:
- Why working with a cluster of schools helps with summer care
- Summer community involvement
- A project that gets kids growing trees from seed
