Patricia Klindienst, a master gardener, scholar and teacher, has authored "The Earth Knows My Name: Food, Culture and Sustainability in the Gardens of Ethnic Americans." Klindienst had an Italian grandfather who left behind a photgraph of her mother taken on the day Sacco and Vanzetti were put to death. This image sent her on a quest to learn about them. She discovered that Vanzetti coped with his situation by dreaming of his father's garden in Italy. Eventually, Klindienst visited many ethnic gardens and tells the stories of those gardens and gardeners in this lovely book.
