Sense-Making in a Changing World Citizen Gardener with Acadia Tucker & Morag Gamble
In this first episode, I am joined by Acadia Tucker - new generation regenerative farmer, plant lover, author and climate activist from New Hampshire, USA . She sees small scale regenerative farming and local food growing as an act of positive change - for the health and wellbeing of families, communities, the land and earth's systems. Acadia encourages us to join the movement of Citizen Gardening and the growing of perennials, as a 20th century version of the victory gardens during WWII where 20 million Americans took to their gardens to grow 80% of the country's food needs.
What is happening in the world right now requires big picture thinking and local action. A citizen gardener is a [pr]activist. Join the movement - transform your garden, community garden, allotment, verge garden, or school garden into an abundant perennial food oasis that draws down carbon, mitigates climate change, rewilds the landscape, brings community together and restores local ecological systems.
Acadia's books:
- Growing Good Food: A citizens guide to backyard carbon farming 2019
- Growing Perennial Foods: A field guide to raising resident fruits, herbs and vegetables 2019
- Tiny Victory Gardens: growing good food without a yard, Fall 2020
