Home in Tucson about to hit the road again!

I’m excited to hear about gardens in National Parks you were telling me about. You’re mother and daughter right?

Tell us a little about yourself.

Just in a nutshell

background is from LA area

Nancy gave birth to me and right after that she gave birth to an organic garden with goats!

Lisa is allergic to just about everything ever invented!

nothing was working

time to get goats! 

She could have goat milk and not cow milk and organic veggies!

Do you want to tell us about your first garden experiences? Are you from L.A. too?

Yes, I am

my frist experienc would be with my grandmother who had a victory garden

living infirst one house forever

garden at the back

as soon as we visited her we ended up in the garden

naturally an organic gardner

She never used any sprays

She used beer

Like slugs and stuff. I remember my parents putting beer out. 

that’s how it was

that seems to work

spray

loved her beer.

How about you Lisa?

a little different

born about a year and a half old. 

Nancy worked for Joy Adamson the movie with the lions

Born Free

We went to work with Joy in kenya

the two of us went across the ocean

to Africa

be my first gardening experiences

learning how to herd cattle, they were growing vegetables. 

Joy got murdered

We lived in a village called Karen after Karen Blitzen

Out of Africa

Kenya and Nairobi

just evolved from there. Always had a garden as a young child. big fascinations

My friend Eve went to work with Joy Adamson, but she never got to work with them, she ended up working for the UN for the Environmental Fund I think.

We’re not really gonna talk about your garden because you’ve been traveling so much but your gonna share about your show and travels etc right?
