I am a life-long gardener and Master Gardener, class of 2000. I have contributed to Augusta Magazine, Columbia County News Times, and currently developing a no nonsense guide to gardening in Augusta. The most recent article, "The Top-10 Die Hard Performers for Georgia Gardeners", was published in the April 2011 issue of Georgia Gardening Magazine. Look for more articles this fall!
Wife, volunteer and mother of two active teens, I practice a realistic approach to gardening with vegetables, herbs, perennials, and annuals for cooking and design. I speak frequently to groups about topics such as herbs, growing your own veggies, cutting gardens, cooking with herbs, and floral design. My website www.mlchgarden.com is where I blog and communicate monthly tips and practical garden ideas to readers. The thrust of the blog is to encourage others to gain confidence through garden related activities.
My home garden was featured on the Sacred Heart Garden Festival garden tour in April, 2010 with over 350 visitors! Our "country" garden hosts FlowerCamp in September where guests are encouraged to cultivate creative perspective utilizing simple design techniques.
I thrive on sharing my love for gardening & offer various design and gardening workshops throughout the year. Often asked "where does your energy come from?", I answer "doing what I love & lifting heavy weight". Please feel free to visit my website, be-friend me on Facebook, and subscribe to my new monthly e-newsletter...
Blessings from the Garden
