City Dirt: Adventures in Urban Gardening

I forget how I got turned onto the City Dirt email newsletter ("The Bay Area Weekly Garden Newsletter for Foodies, Foragers, Tree-Huggers and Beauty Lovers"), but however it happened I'm glad we did. Every week's newsletter includes interesting looks at different aspects of sustainable food, such as pieces on a local chef foraging for mushrooms, an edible gardens landscaping business, a book by a local urban homesteader in Oakland (Farm City), and an upcoming class on Sat, 6/12 in SF on how to grow your own shiitake mushroom log at home (I wish we could go!).

Maria Finn maintains the City Dirt website and has written her own book, a little piece of earth: how to grow your own food in small spaces. So inspiring to read about all the cool stuff that people are doing around sustainable food.
