I’m originally a New Yorker from the lower side Manhattan, if anyone is familiar with NYC accents, it’s obvious. Grew up in NYC from parents who grew up on farms, always loved visiting my grandparents seeing them grow what they eat and always inspiring to me!  I have come full circle by being the director of http://www.farmschoolnyc.org/ (Farm School NYC) Tell me about your first gardening experience? I have to say, I grew up on the lower east side on the 18th floor an apartment lucky to have a little terrace little concrete shelf does not sound like a bucolic farm but was definitely my first gardening experience My mother grew up on a mid size family farm in Alabama,
