Stacey Murphy’s superpower is packing tons of vegetables and herbs into tight spaces, literally tons. She’s helped thousands of gardeners from five continents…Gardeners just like you who want affordable, delicious organic food, and a sustainable future for their communities.

Stacey has taught thousands of teens and adults how to grow, harvest, and prepare fresh foods. She is a recovering engineer and architect turned proud garden geek. Stacey founded BK Farmyards, a cooperative of urban farmers in Brooklyn. She’s been featured on Martha Stewart Radio, PBS online, and once appeared on the David Letterman show with a giant radish.

Stacey also writes children’s books. Her first book, My Dinosaur Ate My Broccoli, is a loose autobiography of growing up in her mom’s garden. Hey, little known fact about Stacey… she used to race cars for a living. Now she likes to race other growers around the garden.
