In the slow lane

The Slow Food garden situated in the center of Indianapolis incorporates mind and body in its teaching while gardeners grow unique veggies. Here is some of what I saw:

    WOW, Dee you do get around. Kansas City’s botanical garden, Powell Gardens, is trying to make people realize the benefits of slow, local food. It’s called the Heartland Harvest Garden. It’s a 12 acre garden dedicated to teaching people how food goes from garden to plate and the benefits of home grown fruit. Unfortunately for us more people on both coasts are more interested in the message than the local area. But check it out Dee or at least google it.

      Hey Patrick. I’ve been a traveling gal this summer. Too hot to stay in Oklahoma. Just kidding. We took some vacation days and went. I think one of the problems with the south central part of the country is that growing food can be so unpredictable. If we were relying on our own vegetable gardens this summer, we would be starving. Just a thought. If I get back to STL, maybe you can take me there.

      We have a slow food movement in OK too.

    Looks like a great place to visit! Did you get to do a taste test while there? We have a local group here that hosts dinners on a farm to educate the public about the Slow Food Movement, though I’ve never attended one yet.

      No, Rose I didn’t, but I wish there was time to taste. We ran from one thing to the next. It was a very interesting trip.

    Hey Miss Celebrity, imagine the surprise I got to see your lovely smiley face grinning at me from the latest Lowes magazine!! Loved it and so proud of you too.
    But now I am really hoping you are not affected by the awful wild fires, they have been in your area I think?

      Awww Sarah, I’m no celebrity; just a hard-working writer, but thank you. I’ve not been hit by fire. They were about eight miles from my house, but I was worried about several friends. Many people did lose their homes. Hoping for cooler temperatures.

    I am a huge fan of the Slow Food Movement – in Italy it has really taken off but back here in UK splutters to exist.

      Hi Catharine, lovely to see you here. I am a huge fan of delicious slow food myself. I loved this garden and the children’s garden I also saw on this trip. Keep hoping the movement will take off in Oklahoma. We have people who do it, but it doesn’t get the respect it deserves.

      Sharon, I have another wonderful place for you to visit too. You could make it a great speaking trip. We went to an awesome children’s garden, and the children were there visiting.

      Lisa, I’m in Indy for the Garden Writer’s Association meeting. The garden was pretty cool as was the lady who ran things.
