Welcome
Northern Gardening is an excellent resource for all gardeners–especially those in a colder climate. I am a with over 30 years of hands-on experience working in my own zone 4 northern gardens. My Minnesota gardens have been featured in several magazines including the Sept./Oct. 2003 issue of Midwest Living magazine and the spring 2007 gardening issue of and on the television program “.”
I also enjoy garden writing and have regular columns and articles in the magazine and the newspaper. If a plant is mentioned in one of my articles it has proven its hardiness in my own zone 4 gardens. [Read More.]
Many of my past newspaper articles are available in the archive and I will be adding a new one periodically–so check back. On this website, I have also included a photograph album showing my former backyard [page one and page two] as it evolved, as well as a page with the gardens at my new home and the gardens of other northern gardeners.
So, what is a Master Gardener? Visit my extension page for more information about the master gardener program in your own state and how you too can become a volunteer. I have also included links to the state extension websites so you can easily find your local extension office–a great resource for gardening information specific to your area.
