Living Green in the city with Garden Girl
I love to find resources for green city living because urban life can be just as green as anywhere else. Garden Girl is a website devoted to Urban Sustainable Living and it’s great! Patti the Garden Girl has the ultimate green thumb and an amazing collection of resources for anyone who wants to learn about living a more sustainable lifestyle. She’s got how-to videos that can help you with organic gardening, conserving resources, saving money and living healthier. There’s nothing Patti can’t grow and she’s sharing her all her ideas and knowledge so everyone can grow a little greener.
On the website is a great list of resources with books on everything from raising rabbits to growing heirloom tomatoes. And, because there’s nothing like digging in the dirt, you can visit Garden Girl in Boston. Garden Girl’s Urban Farm is open to the public for tours, tastings, and workshops. Kids and adults are welcome at the farm to see, smell and touch all the wonderful things that are growing there. Lots of schools have visited and used Garden Girl’s farm as a place to learn about animals, plants, vegetables, aquaculture, elementary science, environmental science,and biology.
And, this spring Garden Girl’s Farm Stand will be open for business! The Farm Stand officially opens to the general public May 2008 thru July 2008. In the meantime, visit online at Garden Girl.
