Urban Sustainable Living is published by Patti Moreno the Garden Girl. She started gardening in 1998, as a way to not only eat healthier, but also to lose the weight that she had gained during her recent pregnancy. Her frequent shopping trips to the gardening supply aisles of a local home improvement warehouse earned her the nickname Garden Girl from one of the stores sales associates. After much trial and error, Patti was able to transform the backyard of her Boston home into an in-town garden that now produces almost all of the food her family eats. Her farmette has become a focal point within her inner-city community, a place where she shares her knowledge and passion for a concept she calls Urban Sustainable Living with hundreds of her neighbors, young and old alike. Patti's success serves to encourage both city-dwellers and suburbanites to take full advantage of their decks, patios, balconies, rooftops, even indoor bookshelves and turn them into sustainable gardens
