The Green Organic Gardener Podcast
I felt I was with Jackie in her garden when I spoke with her! I’m sure we talked about one hundred different topics. Just what I needed. A whole, plant-based diet is a natural match for anyone with an organic garden. We talked about allotment and community gardens, seasonal foods and how what you eat…

I admire Adam and Shoshana for raising their children on a plant-based diet. There are more and more families doing so, which is tremendously exciting.
