About me

I am a Certified Master Gardener with Massachusetts Master Gardener Association (MMGA). I also ran a school garden and taught classes around the garden. I have worked in formal historical gardens (Lyman Estate), teaching gardens (Carlisle Center Park), food pantry gardens (Medford Food Pantry Garden) and Native Plant gardens (The Learning Garden at Drumlin Farm). I staffed helplines where home gardeners ask questions and I continue to volunteer at various MMGA sites and take continuing education classes. I work with client’s to redefine what is beautiful and help them incorporate native and do no harm plants to support the environment.

I studied topics ranging from Botany and Nomenclature, Soil Science and Testing, Plant Nutrition and Composting, Native Plant and Design, Woody Plants, Weeds and Invasives, Plant Propagation, Integrated Pest Management and Pruning. I also completed a 7 month internship where I was supervised by and worked alongside MMGA Certified Master Gardeners.

“Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale, are too small and separated from one another to preserve (native) species to the levels needed. Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.” -Doug Tallamy
