After a run-in with my parents' favorite shrub, I panicked and jammed the broken branch into the ground. When it came to plants, I didn't discriminate. I grew pole beans from seed along the side of our house, mango trees in the backyard, and even found room for a rose garden! I took cuttings, potted them up and sold them at church fundraisers, bazaars and flea markets.
There was no turning back. My business background gave me the skills I needed to venture out on my own - shedding the suit and tie and working in horticultural consulting and design, while endlessly using my own home garden and landscape as my living laboratory and loving every second of it. A colleague had seen a casting call for a television host of a new show starting up on the DIY Network.

I've spent most of my professional life in gardens all around the country talking, writing, or filming television shows or videos about them.
