Master Gardeners talk

Learning as I grow

Context, infrastructure, and productivity.

I grow a garden built for both people and pollinators. Native perennials fill the front yard, and raised beds in the back hold tomatoes, berries, and hot peppers. Each season I raise monarch caterpillars (Danaus plexippus) on my own milkweed and release the adults.
