I found your video on Kitchen Gardeners International about planting a garden on the White House lawn and I loved it. I'm a professional magazine writer and blogger as well as the editor of a gardening magazine and would love to potentially interview you. Can you drop me a line and lemme know what the best way to reach you would be?

Thanks,
Jen

I find it very encouraging that there are people so motivated to change the paradigm of our current agriculture. I would be interested to know how many of these gardens exist across country, and if there are any coops or partnerships with local grocers to sell this homegrown produce?

I happen to be in Maine right now on vacation in Waterford and hope to visit some aquaculture sites to help in making informed decisions on the NOSB in regards to standards!

Thanks again,

Tina
