Before moving to Fountain Hills in late 2014, I was a Master Gardner in Wisconsin for over 10 years. I had an amazing opportunity to lead garden tours in Europe and share my love of gardens and the beauty of England, Holland and France. These trips were some of the best times of my life.

You can imagine my excitement to learn of the Fountain Hills Community Garden and join a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers who have stepped forward to transform an empty lot adjacent to the library into something beautiful. I hope anyone who loves gardening or wants to try growing plants and vegetables considers volunteering and participating in some way.

There is so much to do and learn.
