Marie runs a business called Gardening the Hudson Valley to celebrate gardening and gardens and teaches an online gardening program. Her new book, The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in the Northeast, is a year-round resource based on hands-in-the-dirt experience, with monthly to-do guides, a wealth of skill building tutorials and vegetable varieties specific to the Northeast.

Marie shares how her mid-sixties and early seventies upbringing conflicted with the food of her Italian roots and how she has returned to them.

Enjoy!
