Posted on September 26, 2003 in Interviews
Bill Hopkins of Prairie Point has asked for an interview:
- In what ways is your garden like quilt? Is any part of it done in Prairie Point?
- How do you reconcile your gardening with your environmental concerns?
- Do you let any part of your garden “go wild”?
- I had to notice the interesting juxtaposition between an article about the “zen of weeding” and a second about “goldenrod”. What makes for a “weed”?

I am open for other interviewees!
