PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 27, 2025
Reading there would be changes to the Food & Dining section of the newspaper in 2025, brought me hope that you would begin featuring more gardening articles or bring back a full gardening section. But, to my dismay, instead you are doing away with the only gardening writer you have. Gardening has always been strong in Maine and gardening, during COVID-19, exploded, with people growing their own food, putting in fruit trees, creating flower gardens and creating outdoor spaces as a way to get through the pandemic. There is so much to gardening that could be written. More eople are growing their own food to ease the pain of high food costs as well as all the additives in our food. People want healthier options. Gardening is a way to achieve that. ~ Priscilla Kennie, Dayton
