Urban Gardening with Waverly Fitzgerald
Oct 6th, 2008 by jennie
Jack Straw Writer Waverly Fitzgerald set out to learn about nature in an urban setting. Her studies began in her own neighborhood: Capitol Hill. Waverly researched and collected information about her natural surroundings, and through the writing process, completed her own learning process.
Waverly is a writer, teacher and writing coach. She published a non-fiction book Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythms of Life, in 2007. It was inspired by her studies of and experiments with time and flowed out of her participation in the Take Back Your Time Day movement and conferences. She also writes historical fiction and non-fiction articles about time, seasonal holidays and flowers. She posts preliminary writings about her flower project on her blog: livinginseason.blogspot.com.
