She recently graduated as a Penn State Master Gardener in the class of 2012, and has been involved with all things botanical for decades. She worked in plant stores in high school, adorned every dorm room and apartment with scores of house plants, until she finally started digging in the earth itself and began creating her own gardens once home ownership was a reality. She currently spends her volunteer time at the demonstration garden in North Park, and is the Tour Coordinator for the Allegheny County Penn State Extension office.
