Blog connects Vogt to writers, gardeners
May 31st, 2012 | By tfedderson2 | Category: 2012, Campus News, Issue, May 31For the last five years, Benjamin Vogt has been writing the garden blog “The Deep Middle.”
The project started as a way for the English lecturer to simply record the evolution of his garden. However, the blog — an infusion of gardening tips and selections from Vogt’s published work — has bloomed into a medium that allows the writer and naturalist to connect with gardeners and writers around the world.
The blog, http://deepmiddle.blogspot.com/, has helped establish friendships with garden aficionados from Vietnam, South Africa, France, England, Greece and Mexico. In addition to his traditional gardener following, Vogt has also had visits from best-selling authors. And, the blog has also led to a gardening consultation business.
