Who is The Frenchie Gardener?
Patrick Vernuccio "The Frenchie Gardener" on Instagram, has always lived in the city. 4 years ago, he embarked on his gardening adventure. He discovered the magic of planting a seed and was amazed to see it grow. He soon realized that it was possible to grow his own food on his balcony. Since then, he's been experimenting, testing new species and seeds. Today, he cultivates some thirty different varieties from his 5th-floor balcony, with abundant harvests. Thanks to his urban vegetable garden, he eats healthier, respects the cycle of the seasons and picks his vegetables directly from his balcony.
