Jennifer Smith
Horticulturist / Freelance writer / Public speaker I want everyone to love gardening as much as I do - to know the joy of eating a tomato grown from seed or seeing a tree grow from a seedling to a mature specimen. I was fortunate to grow up in a gardening family, recognize the mental and physical benefits of gardening early on in life, and see the opportunity to work in horticulture. My goal is to share the things I have learned to help others be more successful in their gardening endeavors.
