My colleagues and I bring decades of diverse gardening experience to Food Gardening Network. All of us are passionate about gardening—and cooking and eating!
Editorial Director Norann Oleson, raised on a New England farm where she started gardening as a youth, founded her own landscaping business and developed a great passion for vegetable gardening and growing fruits, berries, herbs, and spices.
Daily Editor Amanda MacArthur manages a large food and herb garden at her home in western Massachusetts. As a best-selling cookbook author, Amanda cooks using ingredients from her outdoor gardens in the summer and from her indoor hydroponic garden in the winter.
Executive Editor Bill Dugan uses gardening knowledge his schoolteacher father taught him and his seven siblings with the vast food and flower garden he maintained at home. Today, Bill tends to a small balcony food garden from his apartment in Washington, D.C.
Founder & Executive Publisher Don Nicholas is an active gardener whose favorite crops include tomatoes, basil, blueberries, and corn. He and his wife Gail live and work in southern Massachusetts surrounded by forests, family farms, cranberry bogs, and nearby beaches.
Finally, I have a lifetime interest in gardening, storytelling, and writing. I live on over an acre of land with several small gardens, including some wonderful berry bushes that the local wildlife enjoy with me and a fairy garden that grows each year.
