Co-founder of The Cooks Garden, Ellen Ecker Ogden was a pioneer in bringing gourmet European vegetable seed varieties to American Gardeners in 1984. More recently she has turned her attention to the superior flavors and locally adapted growth characteristics of the heirloom vegetables and fruits that we inherited from previous generations of gardeners. Now she has published an outstanding book, The New Heirloom Garden, that furnishes all the information a reader needs to plant, harvest, and prepare for the table their own crops of edible heirlooms. As beautiful as it is informative, this book offers sample garden designs to inspire, and a wealth of delicious recipes, all fully illustrated with informative drawings and gorgeous photographs. Join us for our conversation with Ellen Ecker Ogden.
