We were gratified to learn yesterday that two of our students from the 2006 training project in Getk, Armenia were hired to supervise a large training and demonstration project in the neighboring country of Georgia! Ruzanna and Simone learned their lessons from last year very well. They had beautiful and highly successful vegetable gardens in […]

We receive requests from wonderful organizations that are doing great work in SO MANY PLACES, and we are severely limited in what we can do to assist them, because we ourselves are under-funded. Just today a help-request letter and pictures came from a dedicated group in India, who are giving children from the Untouchable Caste […]

It is so fun to receive emails and telephone calls about peoples’ responses as they visit our gardens! In the village of Getk, where our training center garden is located, village people visit EVERY DAY. A common theme is “but we can’t grow tomatoes (peppers, cucumbers, squash, melons) here!!”, at the same time they are […]

It’s hard to believe it has been 4 weeks since we returned from Armenia to Salt Lake City, Utah! It was SO GOOD to return to American soil, and especially to our home, that we fell apart a bit and didn’t want to do anything. Even the Hogle Zoo garden, which had been grown and […]

We presented a final video presentation, gave each student some T-Frames, books, CD’s, and DVD’s, and toured their gardens. It was very gratifying to […]

For the benefit of all who are growing in or considering growing in a greenhouse I want to document a few mistakes my friend Gnel made in this, his first season of growing tomatoes in his greenhouse. The growing medium for his seedlings was a problem, along with the fertilizer mixture. Between them his seedlings […]

We teach and demonstrate to people everywhere how to grow as much as ten times the produce in the same space. This is a great sell, and it’s the truth, but it sometimes creates a problem of its own. Many people get excited at the prospect of growing ten times the healthy produce they have […]
