Only but a few have reached the status of Master Vegetablarian, and fewer yet have been awarded the title, World’s Second Greatest Living Gardener. Recognizing a landscape bereft of experts with extraordinary monikers, Tony Kienitz has graciously stepped in to fill the void.

Tony’s work focuses primarily on educating children and former children about gardening with plants that produce food. It is his belief that if every household in America, nay, the world, grew a portion of their daily meals from the soil beneath them, many of the cultural and ecological problems we face today would be mitigated. While one backyard apple tree and a single patch of snow peas won’t do squadoosh in our battle against climate change, several billion apple laden trees and several billion patches of snow peas very well might.

Tony also believes that it is pointless to teach semaphore to squirrels, that crossing guards are woefully under-tipped, and that The Fool still possesses the one voice that can speak honestly.
