Sue Sweeney

Master Gardner Sue Sweeney, a life-long naturalist and gardener, specializes in non-chemical, minimally-disturbing conservation area restoration.  She is a freelance nature photographer, and author of numerous articles on urban flora and fauna, chemical-free gardening, and similar subjects.  A passionate environmentalist, Sue lives in a downtown high-rise, and does not own a car.  Her indoor and balcony container garden has shrunk over the years, from a high point of around 500 plants, as her responsibility for her parents’ garden and for Stamford-area conservation work has grown.  Today, a good part of her container garden is focused on urban, high-rise food production.  Currently, she is Volunteer Head Steward of the Scalzi Riverwalk Nature Preserve near the heart of downtown Stamford CT and teaches conservation restoration to Master Gardeners Interns and other interested parties.  She also volunteers at the Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens.
