Plant of the Month - Archive

By Cheryll Greenwood Kinsley

The author of our Plant of the Month feature since 1997, Cheryll is a writer and an editor and a dedicated Master Gardener in Whatcom County. Next to the people in her life, words and plants—their history, their habits, and their needs—are her favorite things. When she’s not at her keyboard, you might find her helping others learn about gardening or tending her own small plot—chasing horsetail, counting ladybugs, and looking for a spot where she can wedge in just one more Cryptomeria. You can reach her, if you’d like, by e-mail: cheryll@cgkwordsmith.com.
