My article on Stephen Barstow's Visit to Japan at Metropolis

Stephen Barstow taking the plunge.

Back when the sakura were blooming and my tomato plants were just shaping up their first leaves, Stephen Barstow came to visit Japan. I'd been reading his blog off and on for awhile, but it wasn't until Maddy Harland at Permaculture Magazine asked if I'd be interested in reviewing his book. Around the World in 80 Plants was a fantastic read, and I was enthralled from start to finish. (You can read my full review here.) So, when I found Barstow was coming, I snagged the chance to join him on a plant adventure and chat. You can read the results of that day of fun here at Metropolis. Enjoy!
