About Us
Hey, I’m John Albuquist
I’m actually an academic consultant but I do most of my work from home.
This gives me the opportunity to do and learn more about gardening and botany, including research.
My father was a horticulturist and he passed on to me the skills and tips of keeping a garden. I literally grew up watering plants and looking at our flowers bloom.
Most of my gardening knowledge is based solely on experience and I veer towards ‘gardening on a budget’.
This blog is dedicated to beginner and even expert gardeners. I do not seek to write out of expertise but from experience and my best practices.
Our new gardening should match sustainability and our put efforts to contribute to the green movement.
