The Garden GirlYou're about to be amazed with everything she will teach you about Urban Sustainable Living.
Patti states: "I am a generation xer who is trained as a film & video producer. I was raised in the concrete jungle, New York City. That's why I say, "If I can do it, then you can too!" I'm just like everyone else. I am a mother, a daughter, a wife, a professional person, and now an urban sustainable living pioneer. Ultimately, I am a Modern American Homemaker and an Urban Homesteader. I got the nickname "GardenGirl" by the sales associates at the Home Depot who helped me load my car for years.
After my daughter Alejandra was born, I looked in the mirror and saw that I had gained seventy pounds and I decided I had to do something about it quick. As a new mother, in a new house, I decided to start getting into shape by working on landscaping my yard. It wasn't a yard. It was a vacant lot with intact foundations of homes that stood there before with who-knows-what thrown in. I worked that little spot as hard as I could and made some progress, but there was lots of failure too. I was able to refine some of my methods, but it wasn't until I moved into my new home, that it all began to take shape for me. I hate to work hard needlessly, but I like to be outside, so all of my methods and the methods of others that I use, are based maximum efficiency. I was a manager of a Gap store in college, so efficiency had been drilled in my head, and as a film producer we are always looking for better ways to do more with less. If there is an easy way, then I will find it.
After my gardens began to produce in great quantities, I learned how to cook. Feeding my family food that I personally grew and prepared was a treat. When my first flock of hens starting laying a half a dozen eggs per day, I must have tried every egg recipe. My friends and neighbors would come over and say you should videotape this. One day while watching how-to shows on cable, I said, "I can do that", and then I realized that I had to do it. So, I combined my homemaking skills with my film producing ability, learned how to work in front of the camera and have launched GardenGirlTv.com \.. a website dedicated to informing and educating the world on methods for Urban Sustainable Living. I have created a series of how-to videos and web pages that you can view here. With one hundred hours of video tape, I'll be releasing new videos weekly.
On this site and in my videos, you will find useful and helpful ways to live more in harmony with the natural world even if you live in an Urban Environment. My goals are to help you produce more and consume less in ways that will make you and your family live a more healthy lifestyle by eating an organic diet, save money by growing your own organic produce, and bring up the net worth of your most valuable asset, your home.
Urban areas consume natural resources at astounding rates and in the near future 70% of the world's population will live in cities. To help save the planet from climate change and the arrival of Peak Oil, it is important that we begin turning to more sustainable ways of living.
Experimenting, innovating, and implementing ways to live more sustainably specifically in the cities and suburbs is paramount to preserving our culture for the generations to come. Garden Girl TV isn't just about gardening. My videos span the wide range of 21st Century modern homemaking, including cooking, arts and crafts, alternative energy, pet care, and aquaculture. "
