About me: I am a 43 year old mother of three, who loves all kinds of gardening. I have vegetable,herb,woodland, perennial, annual, shrub, indoor, water and fairy gardens. I am lucky enough to have an indoor atrium (wonderful in our cold Wisconsin winters), greenhouse, and 5 acres to garden on. I also have a cutting/seed starting area in my basement with grow lights and heat pads, and try to start most of my plants from seed or cuttings. Besides gardening, I love cooking, crafts, reading, movies, music, hiking, travel, history, collecting antiques, and planning and throwing theme parties. I would also love to someday restore and old house, and do a period garden to go along with it. My husband and I also enjoy sailing.

My zone is: 4/5
