Gardening since 1982
I run the Chicago blog WickerRooftop.com where I write about finding nature in the city. Raised on a farm in rural northern Michigan, I know the power of connecting with our environment. Since I live in the heart of Chicago, my farming is confined to a hot & windy rooftop garden.
