New York Botanical Garden Offering Summer Classes

Here's a blurb from the NY Botanical Garden about classes there this summer and a link to SIGNUP to Gardener / Writer Ellen Zachos classes you can get an audio interview with Ellen about gardening on terraces <here>. The classes are space limited so sign up today.
There’s no place like The Garden for classes that inform, inspire and enrich. And for people on a professional career path in gardening, floral design or landscape design, an NYBG certificate is a prestigious credential that sets them apart. 
Currently we are promoting Summer Intensive Certificate programs in those three areas. These concentrated sessions – beginning July 8th -- allow students to complete up to half of all NYBG certification requirements in just two weeks for Gardening…and just five weeks for Floral and Landscape Design!  
We think any current or aspiring gardeners and designers would be interested in this opportunity to fast track their professional development. 

You can learn more about the Garden’s summer intensives here:  http://www.nybg.org/adulted/summer-intensives.php. We also invite you to LIKE or Share NYBG on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NybgAdultEd, or follow on Twitter @NYBGAdultEd.

Location: Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458, USA

Eco Fashion: Interview with Julie Dicterow of Cri De Coeur

C ri de Coeur ||style conscious with a conscience :: ethical contemporary fashion|| MG: When you decided to create shoes in an ethically responsible way did you get any resistance from those around you? JD: I think there is a resistance to non-leather goods in this industry when presenting a designer quality shoe that is made of vegan products. I think that we are filling the void for those who seek out quality, but also want to make conscious choices that they can live with. The more people are educated about the impact the fashion industry can have on reversing global warming while also improving quality of life for people and animals (with regard to leather tanneries, meat industry and animal welfare) the more people want to support companies that are cruelty-free but also meets high-end fashion demands. MG: Have your designs been effected by your choices in material? JD: We seek out the highest quality fabrics for our shoes and handbags. The more "eco" they are, t...

She's the long time friend of NYC plant luminary David Protell and Garden Center Manager Rose DiCostanzo - so invited Metropolitan Gardening to the Chelsea Garden Center in Red Hook where she walked us through 3 important tips for seasonal gardening and decorating.

Black Bear Farm Winery makes a Rasberry Jewel

F rom time to time there's an urge to review a libation. We've stuck to reviews that centered on organic , eco-concious and local economy. I was recently at a party with the Triple Cities Hiking Club . This venerable and esteemed group dates back to 1947. We all traveled to   Allegheny State Park  - where it snowed beautifully this weekend. At the shin dig a hiker broke out this unique bottle of local brew for everyone to partake of.  Shortly put, if there were cider in heaven Black Bear Farm Winery would be found inside the jeweled gates. The bottle shows us imagination and immediately suggests nostalgia for lazing on a shady back porch swing at a classy party where the hosts have down to earth taste. This fabulous growler of nectar brings the bubbly tasty goodness of early summer harvest. Notes of sweet ripe berry and tart apple ring through a crisp fizzy nose. Altogether the most satisfying hard cider this writer has tasted ever. Let's call it sweet ...
