I have always been fascinated with plants and how they relate to each other. Alpine gardening is a natural choice for me since it embraces a wide source of plants and provides an intellectual platform to experiment. Alpine gardeners, it seems, are always treading into other domains. So, there is no hierarchy; and a beginner who is astute can very quickly become an accomplished grower. I find this type of social leveling appealing.

You could say I was raised on alpine plants. I weeded them for the first 16 years. Looking back it's probably a miracle that I still like plants at all. For most of my childhood I fiddled with annuals (cosmos, gourds, stocks, zinnias...), graduating to water gardening and perennials as a teenager, and finally took up the alpines when I had my own home. I still like some fancy, large flowers and bog gardening and am not any kind of plant purist.

I like Animals and nature. I want to be a paleontologist when I grow up. I also like rock gardening

For as long as I can remember I was passionate about plants, and design. Today, as a creative director I am able stretch my visual muscles daily about aesthetics, lifestyle trends and design, but on weekends, I work in my garden and greenhouse in Massachusetts, where I collect and grow many kinds of rare and unusual plants. I write, speak, and consult about both of these life-passions, sometimes even at the same time.
