Greenwoman Magazine celebrates garden writing in all its forms: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, commentary, biography, art, and comics! Daring and fun, Greenwoman is for the hip gardener who loves digging into the world of art and environmental thought that underlies gardening. Volume 3 features: "Mr. Stripey"—The hilarious (and edgy) story of a marriage battle—over a tomato plant. “No Compost, No Digestion”—a chapter excerpt from Joel Salatin's amazing new book Folks, This Ain’t Normal. “Blackberry Bramble”—An erotically-charged blackberry poem . . . yum. “Never Surrender!”—The tale of a Colorado Plain’s man who wants to save his true love’s garden. “Almost Too Happy”—one woman’s reflection on how her imperfect and sometimes out-of-control life is very much like her garden. “Victory Gardens of Today”—a historic piece by LaManda Joy on America’s Second World War Victory Gardens and the valuable lessons they can teach us now. We also have a heart-to-heart interview with Jane Gates (landscape designer/writer/artist); another naughty ("Sex in the Garden") column by Elisabeth Kinsey, who muses on the profoundly fecund subject of dirt; Dan Murphy's “Slow Ride;” DB Rudin's "The Creature Feature;” art, comics . . . and MORE.

Recommended by the American Community Gardening Association Community gardening enhances the fabric of towns and cities through social interactions and accessibility to fresh food, creating an enormously positive effect in the lives of everyone it touches. LaManda Joy, the founder of Chicago’s Peterson Garden Project and a board member of the American Community Gardening Association, has worked in the community gardening trenches for years and brings her knowledge to the wider world in Start a Community Food Garden. This hardworking guide covers every step of the process: fundraising, community organizing, site sourcing, garden design and planning, finding and managing volunteers, and managing the garden through all four seasons. A section dedicated to the basics of growing was designed to be used by community garden leaders as an educational tool for teaching new members how to successfully garden.
