Rick Gush Blogger

Rick Gush
Rick Gush has been a staunch organic gardener since his high school days.  He attended the University of California at Davis for biological sciences, working at local tomato and sugar beet farms while a student. He continued in the California agricultural and horticultural industries for many years, though a career move in the 1990s led him to design computer games. No matter how much of a techie he’s become, gardening and farming remain his principal passions, providing a precious opportunity to get out from behind the computer keyboard.

In 2000, Rick moved to Italy, where he writes to you about his cliff garden and other experiences in Italian urban agriculture.
