New Year. New Look. More Stuff.

by Adriana on January 1, 2011

Welcome to the new home of Anarchy in the Garden – Loud, punk rock fueled, always DIY gardening and home economics hub for the domestic demolitionist. I’ve eliminated the fluff and added more categories. Check em’ out!

Grow – You won’t find begonia growing tips here but you will find info on how to successfully grow your own food in the city. I garden in the only state that matters, California; more specifically Long Beach, CA. That’s USDA zone 10b and Sunset zone 22 for you academic types.

Home Ec – Working 9 to 5 can blow and dinner doesn’t have to be a Del Taco burrito. I’ll share recipes, always vegan or vegetarian, using seasonal homegrown produce. You’ll also find a healthy dose of cleaning tips, craft projects, and much more!

Style – I love Target as much as anyone but dressing head to toe in Merona is not cute. Go ahead, hold down that corporate gig and rock it pretty. I’ll let you in on unique and affordable fashion finds.

Pets – They’re the next best thing to kids! From doggie wear to homemade treats or just gratuitous pictures of my mutts. You’ll find everything pet related here.

Holidays – Handmade Valentine’s Day cards, Mother’s Day bouquets made from locally grown flowers, let’s celebrate! Homemade style.

Community – From volunteer opportunities and gardening workshops to Social Distortion tour dates. An event calendar filled with fun things to do around town.

Lastly, I promise to cut out the suck (aka self-promotion), share more useful information and always keep it punk.

Speaking of Social Distortion, check out their first-ever TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. They’ll be performing in So. CA this month!

Yours in Anarchy,
Adriana

Your focus on more beauty, more food, less stress w/ less water is so timely and relevant, fellow rebel *with* a cause!

I might normally take a friendly exception to your “the only state that matters, California”, but since NM cracked 2 million population last year, Viva California! And Viva everywhere else! But do come visit and enjoy some green chile!

The new blog design looks great!

Hi David! You had me a green chile. “The only state that matters” comment is a nod to the Clash since they were regularly billed as, “The only band that matters.” Told yeah this was a punk rock fueled site!

The tattoo themed design by Hearts and laserbeams is awesome, and I especially love the facebook and twitter graphics! My fave illustrator Tara Mcpherson is doing a lot of tattoo themed design lately too. :)
