Natures Voices

I had the pleasure of appearing on White Memorial’s Natures Voices radio show, hosted by Marlow Shami. She put together a nice email blast for the podcast, most of which I’ve duplicated below.

Welcome to Nature’s Voices podcast, White Memorial Conservation Center’s show about everything Nature.
Just what is permaculture? How is permaculture making a real difference in the health of the planet as well as the people consuming foods grown in the permaculture tradition? Permaculture is not just about farming and gardens…it is about sustainable living.
Is it possible to grow food year-round in New England? With winter’s temperatures plunging below zero at times, how could permaculture support a winter garden? Discover how a diverse, beautiful, and productive 1/10th of an acre garden situated within the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts thrives all year-round.
Today we’ll hear from Bob Brown, a member of the newly formed NW CT Permaculture Community, a group formed by Cynthia Rabinowitz, Executive Director of the Northwest Conservation District in Connecticut.
Listen here:

Are you inspired by the idea of a year-round garden and living a sustainable lifestyle?
Consider acquiring these books from your local independent book stores. The Hickory Stick Bookshop in Washington, CT, is my nearby favorite.
