Matt first learned to garden on a mountain in N. California through the Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program. After that, he learned how to plan gardens at an meditation center/farm in the suburbs of Sacramento and there learned about garden planning. Since then, he has volunteer gardened at a number of places in the East Bay including Berkeley Youth Alternatives, the Watershed Nursery, and Longfellow School Garden in Berkeley. More recently, Matt’s worked with two different landscape companies. Currently Matt volunteers at the Ploughshares Nursery in Alameda where he helps with propagation, plant separation, watering, taking cuttings and seeding. Matt also designed and cultivates a backyard garden in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland complete with vegetables and fruit trees, compost. Matt is most interested in gardening as a means to personal empowerment. |
