Garden writing

My blog and articles for newsletters and magazines are written with one purpose in mind: to provide home gardeners with ideas, information, tools, skills and strategies to foster healthier, more pollinator-friendly gardens.

Speaking

I also share my knowledge and experience by speaking to community groups, garden clubs and gardeners who want to learn more. Topics include:

-Gardening in dry shade (and under Norway maples). I speak from many years of experience, and success, in these challenging conditions.

-Creating multi-season interest in the garden, from spring ephemerals to winter berries

-Pushing the limits: things they said ‘couldn’t be done’, but I did them, successfully

-Native plants that thrive in my Boston garden

Garden travel ideas

Looking for gardens to visit in New England, the mid-Atlantic, the South, or Britain? We have suggestions!

I have visited many gardens from Maine to North Carolina and can offer suggestions for such travel.

I wrote about planning a trip to visit gardens in Britain; read it here.
