About This Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Plants and gardening have been a big part of my life for a long time. It all began in first grade when my teacher gave me a cutting from her classroom spider plant. I've been a vegetable gardener since the mid-90's and studied horticulture since 2008. I started working as a full-time horticulturist at the MSU Horticulture Gardens in 2013 and it is THE BEST JOB EVER!

My goal for this blog is to document my day to day experiences as a professional horticulturist. Between my personal and professional life, I grow hundreds of varieties and over 30,00 individual plants each year. I'd love to share some of their stories with you!
