A Passion for Slow Food Grows into a Rooftop Garden
We chat with Laura Luciano, a graphic designer from Long Island. She loves to find the stories behind locally produced food and the people who grow it.
Her passion for local food grew into her own blog (http://outeastfoodie.com), a column in Edible Long Island (https://www.ediblelongisland.com), and, eventually her involvement in the Slow Food (https://www.slowfood.com/) movement.
Then it grew into an interest in growing her own food. So she created a rooftop garden.
Are you thinking of growing a potted olive tree? Or maybe you already have one…but you’re still waiting for olives. Olive trees are tough as nails. They can take more cold than many people realize. And they’re really beautiful, too. Put these all together, and you have a great potted plant for a cold-climate garden.
In my new book, Grow Olives Where You Think You Can't, I tell you everything you need to know to successfully grow an olive tree in a pot!
