Experience

She has both written about and photographed gardens for professional publications, including "Growing the Northeast Garden," and "A Gateless Garden: Quotes by Maine Women Writers," both in 2015. She was Garden Editor for the James Beard Award-winning magazine ChopChop. and was head writer and producer of a CD-Rom, Country Living Style.
