Gardening Background

Biographical Information
I started gardening in a committed way as a young school teacher. My husband and I enjoyed growing vegetables in a school plot. I was occasionally inspired to create gardening projects for my students. Since I bought a house, I have been growing vegetables, herbs, flowers (mostly perennials) and adding to and caring for the trees that came with the house.
