436-Inside Sustainable Westport: The Power of Local Action  
Podcast: The joe gardener Show - Organic Gardening - Vegetable Gardening - Expert Garden Advice From Joe Lamp'l
Published On: Thu Sep 25 2025
Description: I recently visited Westport, Connecticut, to deliver a talk hosted by Sustainable Westport, a nonprofit whose mission is to encourage and support “small changes and big commitments toward a healthier, more sustainable future.” Because their mission is so well aligned with the values I promote on “The joe gardener Show,” I asked Sustainable Westport Co-Directors Johanna Martel and Gately Ross to join me for a conversation to talk about the ripple effects of local action, how to foster change at the community level, and why your voice and your example matters more than ever.  Podcast Links for Show Notes Download my free eBook 5 Steps to Your Best Garden Ever - the 5 most important steps anyone can do to have a thriving garden or landscape.
