I love growing all kinds of new plants, but I am especially fond of Impatiens and native shade plants. I grew up in Lenoir, NC and studied chemistry at UNC, but have lived in Taylors (Greenville), SC for the past 35 years. We recently moved to Raleigh to be near our daughter, son-in-law and new grand daughter. I am 5-minutes from the JC Raulston Arboretum and have recently started volunteering there once a week. We also have a daughter and 3(almost 4) grandkids in Chattanooga, TN that we visit as often as possible. Recently I finished adding an 18-foot long lean-to greenhouse that is already full of plants stored in the crawl-space.

I live in: United States

My zone is: z7b-8 NC

My favorite forum 1 is Carolina Gardening.
