About

Columnist for Oklahoma Living magazine, garden speaker, and digital garden content writer.

Garden Writer Dee NashMy Story

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, where we “make” gardens — we don’t plant them. It all started with a vegetable garden plan that I found in Kitchen Gardener magazine over 30 years ago (The bunnies ate my first attempt, but I kept trying.)

Or maybe it started when I earned my bachelor’s degree in Journalism–Professional Writing from the University of Oklahoma with an emphasis in Botany. I’m probably best known as the creator and writer of my blog, Red Dirt Ramblings, where I tell the ongoing story of making my garden on the 7.5 acres surrounding my home.

I also take my readers along as I travel around the world and bring them into the kitchen with me for my gluten-free culinary creations.  I’m a new beekeeper, so I share my adventures in beekeeping along with my experiences raising and releasing Monarch butterflies.

With a helping hand from my husband, Bill, who enjoys hardscape building more than gardening, I keep expanding my garden — and writing about it. In addition to my blog, I also write for green-industry businesses that need website content, product descriptions, newsletter articles, and more. I also love hitting the road as a garden speaker, sharing stories, techniques, and laughs with regional and national audiences.
