Vicki Nowicki

Vicki Nowicki is an award-winning vegetable gardener, author and educator with degrees in Environmental Studies, Environmental Education and Museum Studies. She and her husband, Ron, own and operate The Land Office, a landscape design and build firm whose tag line indicates that they work with an ecological conscience. For 30 years, Vicki has helped homeowners grow organic food in their home gardens by showing them how to restore biology to their depleted soils and reconnecting them with the rhythms of the vegetable season.  For this dedication to purpose, Vicki has won the National Garden Crusader Award in 2009.  To further help homeowners who want to learn to grow vegetables and help teach their children the skills needed, she has now provided www.Libertygardens.com where people can get information from her blog.  In addition, Vicki operates a lively business called Let�sGrowGoodFood.  She and her crew plant, weed, irrigate, maintain and harvest beautiful, organic vegetable gardens for families until they have learned enough to take over the gardening themselves.  Their lives are transformed once they start to grow and eat their own organic food.
