He eventually expanded his field to a farmden (more than a garden, less than a farm) and left academia to lecture, consult, and write. He is author of many books including \u003cem\u003eWeedless Gardening\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Pruning Book\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLandscaping with Fruit, \u003c\/em\u003eas well as a syndicated column for Associated Press. In addition to providing a year-round supply of fruits and vegetables, the farmden has an educational mission and is a test site for innovative growing techniques. Science and an appreciation of natural systems underpin his work, and Lee's goal is to get more people to grow more food sustainably and organically. He has a PhD in Horticulture from the University of Maryland, an MS in Soil Science, and a BA in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin.
