The Garden Lady - Planning an Edible Landscape

Houseplants in February
C.L. Fornari
Houseplants in February

C.L. Fornari talks with gardener and author Charlie Nardozzi about his new book, The Continuous Vegetable Garden.

They talk about crops that are perennial and those that are self-seeding. Also, how to plan an edible landscape for spending less time and effort for more food. And as always, C.L. takes listeners' calls.

C.L. Fornari is the author of eight books, including Coffee for Roses and The Cocktail Hour Garden. She’s a professional speaker, the former host of GardenLine on WXTK, and co-host of the Plantrama podcast. She is a frequent speaker to groups nationwide, and has worked for a family-owned independent garden center for 25 years. C.L. grows vegetables, flowers, shrubs, trees and numerous other plants at Poison Ivy Acres on Cape Cod. In 2015 C.L. launched the Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival, a ten-day regional celebration of gardens that typically raises over $100,000.00 for local non-profits every year and draws public attention to Hydrangeas and gardening.
