Ben will be bringing us How-To videos on making compost bins and planter beds from scratch, as well as a series of One-Minute Tips on all things garden related (with some fun ideas for gardening with kids, too). His first One-Minute Tip, "How to Grow Your Tomatoes Into Trees," will be posted on Wednesday.
• The Star: Ben Gould happened upon his passion for gardening when trying to find the most inexpensive way to travel the world through the WWOOF program in Belize and India. It has since transformed his life in beautiful and unexpected ways. He now educates children on gardening at several elementary schools in Los Angeles, has recently started his own edible garden installation business and continues to seek knowledge and learn life lessons through all of the gifts that the garden offers. He is also one of my favorite Instagrammers around.

um, is this the same Ben Gould from 'Saved by the Bell: The New Class'?
WONDERFUL!!! I agree that gardening extends past the activity itself. it is like a living organism whose roots draw from every area of your life and whose fruit refreshes and nourishes every part as well. It gives me great joy and excitement. :) Looking forward to more of this series!
Can't wait for the composter instructions!
super cute
I am also getting paid to do community gardens in low-income areas of our city, and as rewarding as gardening is for me, it is beyond rewarding to share that gift with others.
Hi Ben!!
Don't forget the best Garden Center in Brooklyn ;>
