Join me for an amazing trip to explore Southern Italy and the Island of Sicily October 29th through November 10th, 2025. This is the best time to be in Italy as the weather will be perfect and the crowds will be small.

We’ll visit Palermo, Monreale, Agrigento, Valley of the Temples, Piazza Armerina, Giardini Naxos, Taormina, Strait of Messina, Winery Tour & Tasting, Matera, Sorrento, Positano, Pompeii and many other places.

Join me at Soergels Garden Center in Wexford for the 21st Annual Doug Oster Plant Swap and Gardening Hullabaloo on June 2, 2024 from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m.

I’m excited to start a new series of 10 free online gardening classes for Farm to Table Buy Fresh Buy Local. The classes will be held live every Wednesday at 5 p.m. EST. We have a lot of fun during these interactive classes and I’ll even be doing one from the Home and Garden Show!
If you can’t make the class that day, you can always watch later.
