Urban Forestry Radio

Fruit trees can be fussy - but there are some types of fruiting plants that even a child can grow successfully. The father daughter gardening and writing team Steve and Emma Biggs know better than most. They grow a wide variety of fruiting plants in their garden in North Toronto. And they are co-authors of Grow Gardeners: Kid Tested Gardening with Children.So in this episode of The Urban Forestry Radio Show, Steve and Emma talk about No Fuss Backyard Fruit and we explore delicious fruits that you can easily grow and use for preserves, pies and juice. They talk about currents, gooseberries, elderberries, serviceberries and other types of easy-to-grow fruits. And they also answer our questions on how to lure kids into the garden to play, learn and help with some of the work! The prize for this month's contest is a copy of Grow Gardeners, Kid-Tested Gardening with Children by Steve and Emma Biggs. The host of The Urban Forestry Radio Show and Podcast is Susan Poizner of the fruit tree care education website www.
