Nostalgic Italian-American gardens offer lessons for today\u2019s garden growers in a free 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension program with Mary Menniti, open to all, on Jan. 18. Photo Italian Garden Project<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Growing up with an Italian immigrant grandfather, Menniti came to know and value his self-reliant lifestyle, careful use of resources, and extensive gardening knowledge. She founded the Garden Project to preserve old-world food and gardening traditions and demonstrate that the wisdom Italian-American gardeners possess is relevant for addressing some of the most pressing challenges of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menniti travels the country documenting the last remaining classic Italian-American vegetable gardens, learning from their creators, and serving as the caretaker for their heirloom seeds and fig trees. The project provides a window into this way of life through blogs, photo galleries, and videos featuring old school gardening know-how, traditions, recipes, memories and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop is free courtesy of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardener Program<\/a>, which was established in 1977 to educate citizens in environmentally-sound gardening practices through the dissemination of factual, research-based information. Over 800 volunteers serve as community-based educators, amplifying the impact of Cooperative Extension to improve environmental quality and build healthy communities throughout Rhode Island. The program supports Rhode Island communities and residents through the vast world of gardening, with 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardeners \u2014 and gardens \u2014 found across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
