Growing up in the cornfields of Carmel, I spent my free time outdoors climbing trees, building forts, gardening, and participating in sports. Upon graduating from Purdue University, I started my career as a news journalist. Then I became a freelance writer in order to stay home and raise my four children. During this time I felt it was important to teach the kids the value of gardening. Because of that, I taught them how to grow their own food and to see the healthy, joyful beauty of nature. My husband and I created Great GrowIN’s to educate people about creative ways to energize space with nature. This could include adding plants, vertical gardens, moss designs and greenery via biophilic design. When we install a new plantscape or living wall, it is a thrill to see our client’s smiles!
