Alice is a nature/outdoors lover born in New Jersey and transplanted to Florida, trading bear sightings for alligator sightings. She raised 5 kids in the most self-sustaining environment she could conjure. Her grandchildren look forward to walks in the woods or their neighborhood seeking traveling gnomes, puzzle rocks and edible wild plants. This book reflects her passion for home-made and home-grown as well as embracing what Mother Nature has to offer.
