September 2008 Issue

Kurt Bluemel's Home, mid-September
In the News
-
Great update in the Chicago Tribune on plastics in the ag and hort industries, only about 1% of which are recycled (versus 25% or more in the beverage industry). Lots of encouraging signs at the end of that article, though.
On the blogs
- Golf, will it ever be green?
- Another hot discussion of faux lawn, after learning that celebrity environmentalist Ed Begley has one.
New on Sustainable-Gardening
My So-called Second Career
- On the writing front, I delivered my first article to the nice folks at Organic Gardening Mag - scheduled for April of '09 - about spring garden coaching. And I have another coaching story in the works for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
- I talked about urban and sustainable gardening to an Elderhostel group visiting D.C. and they were great - living up to the many good things I've heard about them.
- Next up - the speaking gig Amy Stewart and I have in Portland, Oregon this week at the Garden Writers Association annual meeting. The topic we've been asked to cover is "Blogging Success Stories"
