Matt & Shari

I am originally from the North Shore of LI. My wife Shari and I had huge oak trees and no sun, so I put together a wonderful Japanese Garden - all perennials. We moved to the South Shore 7 years ago to be close to my father-in-law Max who was very old so we could take care of him and ended up buying the house where my wife grew up. We have lots of sun. Max was a fine artist and gardener. He let his garden go wild and he had lots of biennials which reseeded themselves every year. Our home is now a museum for all his artwork and we continue to grow many biennials in his tradition. We really enjoy growing and eating our own food and I continue to experiment in the garden and educate myself daily about soil and seeds and how critical they are to human survival. Gardening is my second love.
