It's hard to remember a time when I wasn't fascinated with watching plants grow. Collecting seeds, planting vegetable gardens, and arranging flowers are a few of my favorite things. I've gardened from Arizona to Alaska and find beauty in the outside world. My hope is that you enjoy coloring in these gardens, flowers, and our favorite garden helpers as much as I did in creating the illustrations. May your garden grow, your harvest be abundant, and your heart filled with love.
