Richwood Gardens

Gardening and interacting with the community at the farmers market make Saturday mornings special for me. I love hearing about what my customers are up to, not only with their own gardens and cooking, but also in their personal lives.

I believe we grow stronger as a society when we pass on knowledge, a love of learning, and passion for our interests to those who want to grow their abilities and understanding of their world. I am grateful that I get to do all of these as a full-time educator, market gardener, husband, and a father to our two children. It is not lost on me the many ways that education and horticulture are alike. As a language teacher and avid world traveler, I have seen how food transcends demographics and brings cultures and communities together.
