Ashlee DeMartino’s fascination with weather began at a young age. Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri she was captivated by the incredible Midwest storms.
PHOENIX — Urban gardens are popping up all over the Valley as people look for cheaper ways to put food on the table. Cecilia Nedelko, of Mesa, has been gardening since she was a child.
The small farm in her backyard has a bountiful area of flowers, fruits, vegetables and herbs. And it is all for her community. Her wisdom comes from what she has learned from Greg Peterson and others at Urban Farm and Great American Seed Up, a seed event that has taken place in Phoenix for the past nine years.
Peterson believes community gardens will help to curb the hunger and nutrition problems in the Valley, where 12% of residents struggle to afford food and 1-in-6 children go to bed hungry.
