My parents had a vegetable garden at our home in East Patchogue ever since I was a baby. I was pulling weeds and picking green beans and tomatoes from a very young age. After purchasing a home in Eastport with my wife, Allison, one of the first things I did was to start a garden. Soon, I joined the Eastport Roots Community Garden, where members grow food for their own families as well as local families in need. My gardening interests have grown beyond raising food organically and into native plants, regenerative gardening and ecological horticulture.
