I\u2019ve been busy behind the scenes for the past 4 years, combing thru plant descriptions, double-checking data, searching out great photos. As it happens, prolific plant photographers, like avid\u00a0gardeners, are a most generous lot. Thank you one and all.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so happy to be part of team plant lust. I work from home snug with my critters, one dog and two cats–at present count–and my garden is footsteps away. I recently moved from a home where I’d lived 30 years. It was painful to leave, but a new garden is on the rise. I’m determined to build\u00a0on lessons from the\u00a0garden gone by. Note: do not plant water-guzzling\u00a0tropicals\u00a0next to drought-loving\u00a0Manzanitas.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit of occupational hazard in studying so many fabulous plants. Sometimes I forget I’m working, and think\u00a0I\u2019m shopping instead. Well, fiddle, truth is, I usually am. But can you blame me? So many glorious descriptions from our contributing nurseries.\u00a0Tropical Looking<\/a>\u00a0 and Big Leaves<\/a>\u00a0and Dramatic<\/a>. Swoon-worthy plants aplenty, and, in my new garden, I have double the\u00a0previous space.<\/p>\n

plant lust is Megan\u2019s brainchild: she thought gardeners and nurseries alike needed a go-to resource for plants and places to find them. I count myself lucky to have such a talented and generous daughter. It was pure genius when she recruited intrepid gardener, Loree Bohl–lover of dangerous plants wherein you could poke out an\u00a0eye. And she even envisioned a role for ADD me. In spite of my inclination toward shiny object distraction, I am able to fully focus on horticultural detail.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thrilled to be part of this venture. I have a technical background in the telecommunications industry. But I never imagined the opportunity to reapply those\u00a0skills to my personal passion for gardening. My heart throbs for\u00a0giant leaves, and fragrant blooms, and grasses that sway their lithesome tassels\u00a0in the breeze. I flat out love plants. And I’ve discovered in the past few years, I am in such good company. You gardeners are an ardent and talented and inspiring bunch. And I\u2019m so glad to have made your acquaintance.<\/p>\n

Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
