Lawn to Edible Garden

Lawn to Edible Garden
Welcome to our family's journey as we respond to some of the large issues we are all faced with in today's world: Peak Oil, Climate Change, destruction of natural habitats, population explosion, depletion of resources...We have tried to address these issues both by learning as much as we can about them and also by walking with a smaller footprint on the earth. We have tried to respond in a personal and practical way. We live in a small, relatively energy efficient house, we are learning about gardening, we are vegetarians, we serve on community boards and teach university classes to raise awareness...but we are by no means experts about any of these subjects.

It is because we are not experts that we are writing this blog! We have realized that it might be helpful to others to share our journey with its ups and downs, mistakes, misunderstandings, and confusion - as well as all the things we have learned along the way. We hope that you will find the inspiration to jump in and do what you can, even if you have no idea what to do!


Be sure to read the 2009 posts because they cover the basics!!

A little bit about us...

December 27, 2009 A little bit about us...

We live in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio, a small, progressive community in the heart of the Midwest and the home of Antioch College. We have lived here for many years and love the sense of community that we find in the village. Yellow Springs is surrounded by the 1000 acre Glen Helen, which is owned by Antioch College, and another 3000 acres in John Bryan State Park. These photos are taken in the Glen where we took a walk on Christmas Day.
Saul has a PhD in Psychology and works as a professor in the Education Department at Antioch University McGregor in Yellow Springs. He is originally from New York City and came to Yellow Springs in 1969 to work for New York Encounter.

I am an artist and I have a Master's Degree in Art Therapy as well as a Master's Degree in Education. I teach language arts to gifted students at Central Middle School in Xenia, Ohio. I am originally from Montana and spent my summers growing up on an island on Flathead Lake - just south of Glacier National Park.
Our daughter Mollie is a 7th grade student at the Miami Valley School, a college prep school, in Dayton, Ohio. She loves to write and is working on a novel. Mollie thinks a lot about the topics in this blog and did a project at school to raise money for a local land trust - Tecumseh Land Trust. She also gave her friends stainless steel water bottles for Christmas!
