Welcome to Earth Friendly Gardening, a blog by Caroline Brown, a freelance writer, rat race refugee, nature lover, and gardener-in-training. I live in Providence, Rhode Island with my husband Curt and our three cats, Simba, Tiny, & Scout.
I began this blog to document my journey to learn more about gardening, especially sustainable gardening, in the University of Rhode Island Master Gardener program. I liked the class so much that I took some other nature classes. Now, I’m a URI Master Gardener, a URI Master Composter, a RI Tree Council Tree Steward, and a RI Rivers Council Watershed Steward.
Earth Friendly Gardening is a blog about gardening, particularly sustainable gardening. I’m interested in how gardening is related to nature and natural ecosystems, and the connection between people and earth, water, and sky. Here, I hope to share resources and information on how to garden in a more “earth-friendly” (sustainable) manner.
I also blog about nature, ecology, conservation, and agriculture. You’ll read a lot about sustainable farming and living, local food, native and invasive plants, trees, the links between human and consumption and natural ecosystems, and other environmental and nature-related issues.
I hope you enjoy Earth Friendly Gardening! Visit often, and feel free to contact me at earthfriendlygardening [at] carolinebrown [dot] com if you have any suggestions or comments.

Hi Caroline. I am a seventh grader, my name is leila. I am doing a prject/ experiment and I was using this website as a souce. You have great information, but I was wondering what you are associated with, maybe a university. I need this for my works cited MLA format page on my report. If you could email me back with the answer that would be lovely! Thanks, Leila.
Caroline,
Great work - here’s something new to speak about - Hope you will contact me so we can have a longer chat.

Hi Caroline,
I’m a newbie blog bug, and I stumbled upon your blog while browsing blotanical. Looks like we have the same goals in sharing sustainable info with others, you on the east coast, and us on the west coast. It’s nice to meet other people with the same passions. Good luck in your endeavors!
Hi Caroline!
I just stumbled across your blog while doing a search for “organic grass seed”. I live in Warwick and am also learning about gardening, living lightly, and organics. This spring, I’m embarking on a square foot gardening experiment. I have two little ones, and although they’re only 2 & 3, I hope they’ll be a big help in the garden and yard this year. Good luck with your greenery this spring…can’t wait to read more of your blog!
