Mary Menniti grew up sharing in the care – and harvests – of her Italian immigrant grandfather’s abundant garden. Now as an adult, she has made it her mission to archive and preserve the gardening stories of her Italian-American community. On her website, The Italian Garden Project, Mary has collected photographs, videos, and recollections from all over the United States. Today on Growing Greener we discuss what made those gardens special and what they have to teach the rest of us about sustainability and the wise use of resources.
