Growing up on Pine Trough Branch Farm, gardening has always been a part of Jenny Kimmel’s life.

“My dad would always try to get me to work in the garden,” Jenny says.

Jenny still works around the family farm – and she shares her love of gardening with the kids at the Greensboro Montessori School as the school’s environmental education coordinator.

Jenny an expert in permaculture – a system of agriculture that echoes the processes found in natural ecosystems. She teaches her students the fundamentals of gardening. Under her guidance, students are able to do everything from harvest rice to make tea with fresh herbs.

"I love it personally because I love nature and interacting with it,” Jenny says. “It’s given me so much joy, and to give that gift to students is really special.”

You can find Jenny Saturday mornings at the Greensboro Farmer’s Curb Market. She loves that her favorite thing to grow is always changing. “That’s the fun part of gardening. Every season it changes.”
