Expertise:  Decisions, decisions... If you can't make up your mind which Annuals to grow, yu're not alone. Frankly I don't blame you! A problem with your new flowering Annuals flats? I`ve been there done that. Petunias, Sweet Alyssum, Larkspur, Marine Blue Lobelia -- they all grow back at my house on Garden Street. Cutting and Cottage Gardens, White Gardens and Night Gardens, I`ve done them all. Annuals are the perfect summer flower, June through fall's first frost. I can`t speak on Cactus or tender tropical plants -- they don`t grow outside in my Zone 7; I`m no Farmer -- so I can`t guide you on Fruits and Vegetables. But whether it`s an Annual you want to start from seed, mail-order or pick up at your local garden center, I`ll help you grow amazing blooms this summer. Everyone will be asking, "Hey, did you see that garden?" Together, we can turn your neighbors green with envy.

Experience in the area
I have a lifetime of gardening behind me here on the North Shore of Long Island, N.Y. While I have degrees in related fields, there's nothing like hands-on work to build real knowledge on a subject. Every year there's something new. By the way, I really do live on Garden Street.

Publications
Gannette, NY Times Publishing and more - but not on Annuals.

Education/Credentials
B.A., botany; graduate credits in European Intellectual History and Political Science; minor coursework in related fields and training at our local botanical gardens (required for volunteers but between you and me I could have taught those classes)
