Community Gardens w/ Sonya Harris

Community gardener Sonya Harris tells us how we can get our hands on her special seeds and Bevin shares his Top 5 Peppers! 

Sonya Harris is a gardener, seed saver, founder of the Bullock Garden Project in Glassboro, NJ and all-around groovy lady! We have an opportunity to chat with Sonya about her favorite tomatoes, a fun gardening surprise and some of the interesting seeds she’s growing this year. We also learn about her collaboration with Ujamaa Seeds, a new seed company focused on diversity and inclusion. Ujamaa is a Swahili word that means 'extended family'.

 You can learn more about Sonya’s work at www.bullockgardenproject.org and connect with Sonya online at @NJGardenTeacher across all socials.

You can find Ujamaa Seeds at https://ujamaaseeds.com/

In the second half of the show, Bevin shares his Top 5 Peppers for the garden. If you’d like to grow the best peppers, you can find seeds for all of these special varieties at www.smallhousefarm.com

To see footage from our journey to Avery Island, Louisiana, where we had the chance to explore the unique history of the Tabasco pepper, you can find the video here. https://youtu.be/EJQM_U2v5Zs
