About me: I'm a horticulturist and work for a large wholesale nursery in Minnesota, as a production coordinator for the perennial and bedding plant crops. I'm a fanatical gardener, and love collecting anything new and interesting. At last count I had about 250 cultivars of hosta, but am running out of room for more. Have a wonderful husband who is also in the horticulture trade, and a great collie named Tucker. I've got a degree in horticulture from the U of M and have worked in both the garden center and the wholesale nursery industry. I love plants, gardening and the whole nursery business.

My zone is: z4 MN
