About Me

Sarah
I am a professional gardener and garden designer in the Washington-DC area. I worked for nearly 30 years in the book publishing industry; during 17 of those I split my time between horticulture and book publishing. I was a part-time gardener at the U.S. National Arboretum for 6 years. Today I work exclusively caring for and designing gardens in the Washington DC area.
