Patti Moreno, the "Garden Girl," was born and raised in New York City. She started gardening 10 years ago to eat healthier and lose the weight she gained during her pregnancy. After much trial and error, Patti transformed her Boston home's backyard into an urban garden that produces just about all the fresh vegetables her family eats during the growing season. Her innovative methodology can be used to grow food in small spaces, on rooftops or even indoors. Patti lives in Boston on her urban farmette with her family and one dog, four cats, 10 rabbits, 11 chickens, worms, squirrels, and several fish.
Patti is rated the Most Watched Garden Host on the web by Tube Mogul, an independent, third-party tracking service.
