We're working on a gardening book/cookbook and are interested in talking to anyone who bucks the notion of a traditional gardener. The only pre-requisites are that you grow legal edibles in an urban environment. We're looking for urban gardeners with an interesting story to tell--either about how you garden, what you garden, or why you garden--the more unusual the better. (Also, think gardens of newly arrived immigrants, prison projects, monasteries, brothels, halfway houses, backyard vineyards, beekeepers, etc.) Tips on edible gardens at schools and restaurants would be appreciated as well.

Contact citydirt(at)gmail.com

Please include your name, city of residence, email, and a summary of what you garden and why, and what makes you unique. If you feel so inclined, please also list any favorite dishes you cook with the veg/herbs/fruits/berries you grow. Feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think fits the bill.

Thanks!
