A casual look at gardening in the north suburbs of Chicago and a look at our local CSA and Farmers' Market.

Off to England
Well tomorrow I am off to England. This is my first hop across the "pond". While there I am looking forward to see the sights; English gardens, the landscape, museums, and Stonehenge. There will be pictures of the sights and of course a lot of work in the garden when I get back.
Have a great trip, Chris! I've been there once, long ago. I loved it! I felt like walking through the history textbook. I am a bit jealous. But then, hey, I've just been to Alaska (did you see my fish?)!!! Bring a lot of pictures back!
Farming and the environment have been a passion of mine for along time. As a kid I would help my grandfather with his garden and I would play in the streams and forests that made up the Arkansas and Ohio backdrops of my childhood. As an adult I have focused my life on educating children about the wonders of nature and the joys of gardening. I have worked at environmental education centers as well as learning farms. For the last five years I have worked and devoted much of my free time to Prairie Crossing Charter School, whose mission is to educate the next leaders of our world about the importance of the environment and sustainable farming.
