YOUR FORAGING GUIDE
Michelle Gardiner is passionate about all things growing and green. She has spent the last 20 years deepening her connection to plants through the study of permaculture, foraging, plant identification, botany and folk medicine. She has gardened in the deep humus of the Pacific Northwest, the sandy soils of Florida and the hardpan clay of Texas. The last four years have found her turning her city lot into a urban homestead with raised annual beds, herbs and medicinal plants, an orchard, quails and chickens and loads of compost; she has used it as a place to abandon perfectionism and embrace experimentation. Her favorite green activity, by far, has been getting to know the plants that God grows in the wild places – back alleys and parking strips to city parks and forests, where the plants are always in the right soil and the right place and the growing is free and effortless. Her favorite human adventure has been with her husband Adam, witnessing their four girls mature into young women.
