New York Times garden writer Anne Raver tells the story of the garden of Joan Dye Gussow, a pioneer in the eat-locally, think-globally food movement, whose gardens were destroyed by the flooding Hudson River five months ago.
Friends and students alike rallied to help her rescue and restore her gardens, allowing her to make changes she'd been thinking about for a long time.
Ms. Gussow, by the way, is 81.
Make sure you see Randy Harris' photos of the garden.
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Interesting. The rebuilding was clearly a lot of work and about 50 years-worth of friends to pitch in and make all of those donations!
