Biography
I am a veteran Master Gardener and landscape designer, with an MAg degree in Horticulture from OSU, and an emphasis on Urban Horticulture. As instructor for the OSU Extension Service online Home Horticulture and Master Gardener Program, I use my experience and training in gardening, urban forestry and ecological landscaping to communicate about and promote sustainable gardening and landscaping practices. Both personally and professionally, I enjoy educating people in how to apply ecological and restorative principles to landscape design and management. I also develop science-based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) material for the SolvePestProblems website.
