From the Ground Up
Clip: 7/17/2013 | 12m 15s
Jeanne Nolan talks about her book, "From the Ground Up."
Jeanne Nolan left Winnetka as a teenager in 1987, frustrated with what she saw as an unhealthy materialism in everyday life. She joined a commune in California to learn organic farming, but eventually realized the commune, with cult-like leaders, was a dangerous place to be. Moving back in with her family 17 years later, she turned her parents' backyard into an organic garden.
