My Story
I started gardening as a child over 55 years ago with my parents. I now love to teach others how to grow and maintain their own vegetable gardens.
​
My history includes teaching gardening in the public school system, volunteering at the Pima County Plant Clinic, sitting on the board as well as being an educator and garden manager for the Community Gardens of Tucson, and serving two terms as President of Hydroponic Gardeners of Tucson. I was the first volunteer at Bio-Sphere, and was a Research Tech at the U of A Hydroponics project - CEAC. I am also a certified master composter. Then became a master of permaponics, and a master vermiculturist as well as a permaculture design consultant.
​
I can show you how to grow your own food in the least amount of time and space, while having FUN in the process.

I look forward to seeing you in the garden!
