Areas of Expertise
I have gardened extensively for more than 10 years in both the Hudson Valley (Zone 5) and the northeast coast of Florida (Zone 9) and worked professionally at a nursery in New York. My home garden was twice open to visitors as part of The Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program. My Florida garden focuses on native and Florida-friendly plants with the goal of a landscape that is both environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing.
