Show Notes

Carla Fortmann shares how the Lexington Interfaith Garden began, how it contributes to the community, and what lessons we learn from gardening.

Carla is also a registered nurse, the manager of the museum shop at the Buckman Tavern, and the former owner of The Crafty Yankee, a gift shop in Lexington, MA.
