About me: I am a professional horticulturist and a plant nut. I work for the University of North Florida, am working with the founding group of a Jacksonville Arboretum and am working with the Horticulture Study Group in Jacksonville. I have lived and gardened from Zone 6 to Zone 10. I am happiest when outdoors growing my garden and learning about my natural surroundings.

My zone is: z8b, FL
