Roxanne Zimmer, Ph.D., has been spreading the word about best garden
practices for many years. In her Community Horticulture role at Cornell
Cooperative Extension in Suffolk County, Roxanne speaks to school and
community groups about why we should be reducing lawn area, planting natives
and more vegetables. She offers Master Gardener Training and Spring Gardening
School yearly. A recent initiative is the Seed to Supper program which teaches
those in greatest need how to increase their food security.
She has offered a SUNY Stonybrook on global food issues. As part of a Canadian
delegation of farmers, she examined food security in Cuba. She has presented at
national conferences of the American Horticultural Society and the American
Community Garden Association.
When not weeding, Roxanne can be found raising oysters with the Cornell
Marine program.
