Americans dig deeper

Whilst politicians in Washington debate the future of the American deficit, it appears that across the country, citizens are discovering inventive ways to support themselves by growing more and more of their own food.

Urban Farming is the new American craze being driven by people’s craving for a connection to their food source and for more affordable organic fare. Eli Zigas, the San Francisco Urban Agriculture Alliance co-coordinator commented that it “is forcing cities to think about how to bring back activities that we pushed out of cities a long time ago.”

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
