Garden Articles for Print and Online Publications
I love writing articles for regional and national garden publications and am happy writing for online and print magazines. If you’re looking for garden photography to license, I have a deep photo library, as well, with photos of beekeeping, Monarch butterflies, and pollinator gardening, perennial gardening, and garden travel.

Not only do indoor plants green the house, they also clean the air.
Most houseplants are leafy tropicals that grow well indoors. They can handle low light conditions and are great for everyone, even if you don’t have a green thumb.

To attract these garden workers and their prey, years ago, I established a diverse landscape full of plants that work as hard as the pollinators themselves. Echinacea purpurea, purple coneflower, remains a perennial favorite.
I’ll be the first to say I don’t think coneflowers are super easy to grow, even the regular purple ones. In fact, they can be a bit finicky, and some of the newer uniquely colored varieties are even more so.

It’s the beginning of gardening season, and what’s a new year without new plants?

Winter is the season for giving, and no one needs a pick-me-up this time of year more than gardeners. Trust me, they are all itching to get their hands back into the soil.
