I enjoy sharing my experiences over the last 11 years with monarch butterflies – raising them, gardening for them, and most recently, my trip to Mexico to see them in their native winter habitat in the oyamel fir forests in the Transvolcanic Belt Mountains. I also enjoy sharing photography tips with gardeners who want to capture the essence of their own gardens with beautiful images. In addition, I share my story of how I went from being a registered dental hygienist to being a garden writer, who eventually wrote two books that were published by a traditional publisher.
