I am originally from New York City and in 1996 I earned a degree in History with a special focus on Women's Studies from Harvard University. Organic gardening came into my life over 10 years ago and since then I have helped numerous families in Los Angeles to realize thriving vegetable and flower gardens in their homes. I currently teach gardening enrichment courses at Temple Israel of Hollywood where I also helped to plan and install interactive gardens for both the nursery and day schools. I am easily most proud of being an active, everyday mom to my 5 year-old daughter and to my son who turns 10 in August.
