Keynote Speaker, Author of "Teaming with Fungi, Teaming with Microbes, and Teaming with Bacteria"
Jeff Lowenfels is a leader in the organic gardening/sustainability movement as a result of his best-selling books on the science behind organics known as the Teaming Series.
These books are international best sellers and have been translated into numerous languages ranging from Italian, French, Spanish and Dutch to Korean, Romanian and Turkish.
Jeff uses his sense of humor and speaking ability to teach the science behind organic growing. He is known for his highly entertaining lectures which have converted tens of thousands of gardeners at venues throughout North and South America.
Lowenfels also pens the longest running garden column in North America, having never missed a week in over 48 years. The combination of garden writing and law earned him the moniker of “America’s Dirtiest Lawyer.” The trilogy, now a tetralogy, made him “Lord of The Roots,” the moniker he keeps now that he has retired from law.

He is also a highly respected and popular, national, garden writer, former President of the Garden Writers of America (now GardenComm), a GWA Fellow and was inducted into the GWA Hall of Fame, the highest honor a garden writer can achieve.
Most important, Jeff is the founder of a now national program that started as “Plant a Row for Bean’s,” the soup kitchen in Anchorage, and is now “Plant A Row for The Hungry.” The program is active all 50 states and Canada and has resulted in millions pounds of garden produce being donated to feed the hungry every year.
Jeff is as passionate about “Plant a Row” as he is about organics. He encourages gardeners every where he goes to participate in the program and constantly reminds his fellow garden communicators of the pressing need to solve the hunger problem.
