Flower Gardening Writer & Growing Guide Creator

I've spent the last fifteen years transforming my own garden from a bare suburban yard into a thriving cutting garden and pollinator haven. What started as weekend tinkering with a few perennials became an obsession with understanding why some flowers thrive while others sulk—and more importantly, how to troubleshoot and fix it. I write for gardeners who want real answers, not vague inspiration. I have a rescue dog, Sophie, who loves napping near my peony beds, and I can usually be found in the garden with my phone and a notebook, testing new varieties and jotting down seasonal observations. My kitchen windowsill is perpetually crowded with seed-starting trays.
