Tell us about your garden and what you're growing

I have a loosely maintained garden in Auckland, and share space on a private, farmer-managed community garden in Kyoto. In Auckland, I keep stocks of taro (Colocasia esculenta) from Northland, Cyprus, and Japan. I welcome expressions of interest in growing taro. I am an ethnbotanist and have studied this crop for many years. I also manage a Ning-based network called the Research Cooperative (researchcooperative.org), and am familiar with the Ning system.
