Ruth has 16 years of professional experience in the horticultural realms of organic gardening, garden center management, farming, ecological landscaping, permaculture design, biodynamics, herbalism, and nursery propagation. My name is Ruth Sadie Rose Roudiez, I even have flowers in my name! I grew up on the island of Nantucket, MA and was introduced to gardening by my mother.
She grew lovely little gardens of nasturtium, baby's breath, sweet as candy golden raspberries, and teeny tiny red and yellow and white flavor-explosions-in-your-mouth strawberries. I've been gardening for my entire professional career. My first real job was working for one of the nicest ladies in the world, Caren Oberg of Linnea Gardens.
