EMMA GRACE
Emma has a passion for any and all things garden-related. Her love for nature and the outdoors began when she was only seven and attended a summer camp where she got to learn about the world around her.
Now she works part-time at a local farm caring for over 5,000 apple trees, as well as a robust strawberry patch and sprawling sunflower field. At home, she cares for indoor garden of pothos, jade plants, and herbs, as well as her outdoor vegetable garden complete with jalapeños, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. She loves cooking with her home-grown food and savoring every bite, and can’t wait to share her knowledge with you!
KATHARINE ODEN
Katharine Oden has been vegetable gardening since about 2008, first on a condo balcony and later in community garden plots. Some of her favorite yearly harvests include golden cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and sunflowers.
She often starts plants under lights in a home greenhouse in February for an early start in the New Hampshire growing season, which runs roughly from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Lately Katharine has become more interested in houseplants and landscape plants to fill out her 1955 home on a half-acre. Current favorites for indoors include pilea, haworthia, and maranta.
RHIANNIN BUNNEY
Rhiannin is a freelance author whose love of gardening started with easting fresh vegetables her mother grew in her home garden.
Her love of all things nature inspired her to take a horticulture class while working on her degree, and she’s since increased her knowledge of herbalism, wildcrafting, sustainable planting, and garden care in her free time. Her most recent interests include working with heirloom fruit and vegetable cultivars and exploring sustainable grass and grass alternatives.
She works as a full-time writer and tends a small indoor vegetable and herb garden from her home in the Colorado mountains while dreaming of owning a homestead and tending a crop garden and orchard.
