Jenn Alm and Ritch Yount (plot #111) holding their new basil seedlings
How did you get into gardening? Did someone teach you?
We gardened while living in the Appalachian mountains of rural Tennessee and had wonderful gardens at a Victorian cottage in historic Concord, NC. Jenn worked for a time at a family owned tree farm and as a horticulturist at a university botanic garden in North Carolina.
Why do you garden? What do you get from it?
We are now condo-dwellers for the first time ever on Waikiki and find a real need to tend plants and talk to our "neighbors" over the way at Diamond Head Community Garden!
What is the best or most interesting thing you’ve ever grown?
Exotic clumping bamboos and palm trees in North Carolina (it was an effort there!) and loofah sponges in Tennessee.
Do you actually cook and eat what you harvest?
Yes, and we juice and eat our dandelion greens, so please don't cite us for growing these! :-) They are *very* healthy weeds.
If you could have it your way, how would you improve the garden?
All things considered for the variety of personalities, we feel its in pretty good shape! We are grateful that the rules are being enforced and that excellent records are now kept -- all with a lot of transparency -- Thank You to our Garden Leadership!
Do you know of any interesting, funny, inspiring or curious things that have happened in the garden?
None that I want to mention .....LOL.
