Speaker profilePat Lucey, a retired software engineer, grew up in a gardening family, with parents who were raised in gardening families, and they were all organic gardeners (although they would not have been familiar with this term back in the first half of the 20th century).  Pat and her husband Gary have been active in the organic farming and gardening movement for over 35 years, and have raised their kids out in the country on their organic homestead farm.
