The Providential Gardener

Providential Gardener Interviewed on Renewable Now

Renewable Now, an eco-conscious TV series hosted by Peter Arpin and dedicated to the "business side of green," recently featured Sue Korté, The Providential Gardener. We had a wide-ranging discussion about RI's environmental community, the business of agriculture, aquaculture, time banks, and the Coalition for Transportation Choices, among other topics.

This weekly show is now moving to Channel 6 and can be seen at 3pm on Saturdays. The full archive of interviews is available at Renewable Now's website (two videos show at a time at the bottom of the home page -- click the arrows on the side of the video on the right to see more). Check out the series -- there are a lot of interesting discussions there.

Providential Gardener Environment Guides

At the recent 2010 RI Spring Flower & Garden Show, The Providential Gardener launched a new logo for What Grows On in Rhode Island, and a new series of Environment Guides. The Guides will cover different aspects of Rhode Island's environment and how to be in the Know about local green happenings. The first Guide also features the partners who joined us at the Show.

Happy Earth Day, Rhode Island!

Today is the designated "Earth Day" but every day is Earth Day for the Providential Gardener!

Saturday, April 19th, found people out cleaning up the state and enjoying the great outdoors ~ the Bay, the parks.... our whole lovely garden we call Rhode Island.

You can see the reward of previous hours of work planting bulbs in the fall at India Point Park (above). After a couple of hours' work on Saturday, there was  pizza for the troops!

Many cleanup projects include FOOD! More are coming up this weekend, so check out the What Grows On in Rhode Island Calendar and find something to do!
