Isabel ‘Izzy’ Brown, a 17-year-old senior in high school, grew up at the gates to Denali National Park; a life surrounded by nature and free-spirited play. Her parents have worked in the park as long as she can remember. The youngest of four, she loved following her three older brothers through the Alaskan wilderness foraging, hiking and living a life many only dream of.

Time keeps on keepin’ on! Even before the last harvest most gardeners are already thinking about the coming growing season. We’re preparing our gardens and greenhouses for the big winter sleep and preparing new spaces for new plants. Some may be thinking about a hard neck Garlic bed, a Sun Choke patch or a perennial herb bed all of which should be prepared this Fall.
