Zero Mile Diet Book Launch at the Organic Islands Festival

July 10th, 2010 at 2:30 PM at the Organic Islands Festival in Victoria, BC -  author Carolyn Herriot will be launching her new book The Zero-Mile Diet: A Year-Round Guide to Growing Organic Food as the key note speaker on the event’s main stage.

It is based on Carolyn’s personal experience of achieving year round self-sufficiency in organic fruits and vegetables in only 5-years at The Garden Path. It teaches sustainable methods of homegrown food production, including saving seeds, cooking and preserving the harvest.

After 20 years operating The Garden Path Nursery she now grows certified organic ‘Seeds of Victoria’ at The Garden Path in Victoria.
