ECOTONE World

This summer we stretched our podcast-legs and took a trip to Urban Fresh Gardens located in Waterbury, CT to speak with its founder Gregory Knight! Having already bridged a connection between our urban planning in Texas to their gardens in Connecticut, it was a pleasure to finally meet the man with the plan in person. Taking a seat at their Hill Street Garden location, my conversation with Greg was easy. We discussed his life growing up in Kingston, Jamaica; the dedication to youth mentorship; and his growing success as an urban garden steward.

To learn more about this intriguing urban farmer and the great work happening around the country to effect food sustainability, take a listen to the podcast interview (click the link): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gregory-knight-waterbury-ct-s3-e5/id1547553061?i=1000620966631
