About me...

When I was a new gardener, I thought pots of annuals and some Hosta would do the trick.

But when a major life crisis threw me for a loop, I dug into my garden for solace and I’m still digging and growing (pun intended) - even during our cold winters when I write, sketch and paint, along with  more and more research. I'm a life-long learner and my garden keeps me on my toes ... and from going a little stir-crazy until I can garden outside.

It’s funny how gardening works its way into your soul

and never leaves.  I love how that feels!

Everything I plant is a step further into the fascinating world of horticulture and botany.  I want to know all the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ and 'who said so' and 'will it work for me' in my garden.

It fuels my passion.

As a Master Gardener, I take and teach courses - about roses, soil, plants, weeds, water and all their likes and dislikes. 

I am committed to sharing what I learn with you.  

I hope my site inspires, teaches, encourages and tempts you to try new things - I'll share what works or doesn’t in my own garden.
