On Growing a Greener World, we often celebrate the fact that vegetable gardening has become more popular over the years. Many people just like us garden to get the best and freshest flavors, to keep it local, and to have more control over how our food is grown. For those very same reasons, we should grow more fruit.

For several years now, we've heard and talked about the significant and ongoing loss of the honeybee population. It is still a Mason Bee mystery as to why these bees are disappearing, but we are starting to tap into the use of other types of pollinators. One of these types of pollinators is the solitary bee, or Mason Bee.
Most gardeners know about the value of honey bees, but most don't know that there are thousands of types of bees and some live a solitary life. Some, like the Mason bee are less likely to sting and make a great addition to your yard or garden.

Many of the most popular plants we have today, from the top arboretums to the backyard gardens, originated from plants from far away places.

With a little over 8 million mouths to feed within New York's city limits, the need to have a place where people could buy fresh quality food was in high demand.

As organic gardeners, we understand the importance of good seed. We care about where it comes from and how it was grown. And we want to know how to save that seed for later. But unfortunately, there has been a consolidation in the seed industry and today a handful of large, multi-national corporations own the majority of our seed. This means, they control the supply of that seed to our farmers and that in turn affects our food choices and the choices of what we can grow in our own backyards.

Although organic gardening may be considered a shift in thinking to modern agriculture, it wasn't too long ago that ALL gardening was done without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
