A lifetime of growing her own food informs her design and teaching work. She is th co-author of Tomato: know, sow, grow, feast one of her many specialties that also includes native plants. For Karen, home food growing is much more than replicating supermarket bought commerical crops. She believes it's all about heirloom vegetables, heritage fruits, native foods and learning to use every part of a plant.
