"...Sgt. Matt Holzmann, 33, a Marine at Camp Pendleton who spent seven months in Afganistan. He did counterinsurgency work and tried to introduce aquaponics, a self-replenishing agricultural system, to rural villages.

What This Site Is All About

Welcome to Nxt Bloom - where one Next Gen has found a public place to accumulate and share ideas about where to go next. Most ideas will navigate urban agriculture in the US and around the world; travels; the arts; and writing.
Raised and molded on the North East coasts of Maine, Boston and New York City, this Next Gen returned in September 2010 from the Peace Corps of Benin, West Africa. There, she began her own garden and collaborated with women gardeners to promote financial planning for future growing seasons.
