TALK & SPEAKER:
Steven Biggs is part horticulturist, part extreme gardener. He is an author, podcaster and journalist specializing in food gardens. Steven was recognized by Garden Making Magazine as one of the ‘green gang’ making a difference in horticulture. His home garden experiments span driveway straw-bale gardens, a rooftop kitchen garden, fruit plantings and an edible-themed front yard. He encourages children to be gardeners and has co-authored one of his books with his daughter, Emma Biggs: “Gardening with Emma”.
In Steven's talk, Food Gardens in the Urban Landscape, he will share how to plan an edible garden that is aesthetically pleasing, productive, and fits into an urban neighbourhood: "We help people grow food at home, even in shady city lots."
