- About Me:
- I live in the flood-irrigated old neighborhood in Tempe and am converting my large yard into a teaching/community garden for the East Valley.
Working with my business partner, we are bringing eco-friendly, chemical free, all natural home cleaning products to market. Herb'n Organics products are currently available at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market, Tempe Feed and Tack, Whole Foods Markets statewide, the Urban Market in Phoenix, and the Tempe Farmers Market. Check out our website and buy online. Also available is our Go Green Dog shampoo and crate and bed spray. Our Arctic Blast is extremely effective in the garden: it gets rid of aphids, white fly, ants and fungus gnats with one treatment...safely!
For several years I did a television program, The Urban Gardener, on Chandler Educational Television Channel 99. We focused on issues of sustainability in the Valley.
I have a doctoral degree in Botany from ASU and specialize in island ecology. I have 2 herding dogs, an unfriendly cat and a wonderful Frenchman in my life.

And I find myself doing that more and more frequently. I buy fair trade organic coffee from Cartel Coffee Lab here in downtow… Continue
