About Me:
Lived in AZ (on/off) for about thirteen years. I love plants, but have deemed my thumb "black". I have an acute tendency to "love" plants too much! I have been in the retail floral industry for 11 years. My goal is to have Urban Chickens, an Urban Vegetable Garden, and turn my Scottsdale backyard into a desert oasis! I love to learn new things and am looking forward to joining this group that shares my interests.
