I am a writer, professional speaker, radio host, and joyously out-of-control plant person.  As someone who believes that gardening is one of the most life-affirming things we can do, my goal is to get others excited about being in their landscapes and gardens. I believe that gardening nourishes everything else we do, and when we cultivate plants we also grow creativity and connection.  Visit my website for contact information www.gardenlady.com

This blog is my place to celebrate life in and out of the garden.  I believe that gardening isn’t separate from other aspects of life, but is part of the whole. I want this blog to reflect that. Life, death, creativity, beauty, politics, sex, treachery, humor, and spirituality: it’s all in your own backyard
