Author and illustrator Sally Wenczel, a resident of the Rouge River watershed, grew up picking raspberries the size of golf balls in her grandfather’s garden. She knew that the biggest ones were hiding down low, in the shadows where the big people couldn’t see. Wenczel has published nature themed articles for the KID PAGE in local newspapers and writes about the many green infrastructure projects she heads up in her community. She has worked in education gardens since 2011 in both the inner city and the suburbs. As a teacher and program director for garden education, she’s had hands both in the soil and on the keyboard creating learning opportunities for students of all ages.
