My gardening background

I'm a garden writer and photographer, and I'm fortunate to live on an acreage in the country, where I have lots of space to try out new plants.

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 garden ever! I hope you have fun with it this season.
