My gardening background
I’m a garden writer and photographer, and for 14 years I was fortunate to live on an acreage in the country, with lots of space to try out new plants. Several years ago we sold that property and moved to a smaller spot, where I’m working on a new garden.
I favor contemporary, easy-care garden styles, and I work with nature, rather than fighting it. Nature tends to win anyway!
A beautiful garden is truly an affordable luxury, so here’s to your best season on the garden!
