Thank You for Your Comments!
Your comments, tweets, emails and suggestions are greatly appreciated, it's helpful to know what is on your mind and what topics you want to hear about as you engage with your natural world.
My goal is to help you become comfortable (again) with nature as well as start growing some of your own food. If you already garden, then my goal is to help you be even better and understand how we all contribute to this giant interdependent ecosystem we call home.
If you would like to share a comment, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
