Renee: North Carolina, USA

Bio: Renee Garner graduated with an arts degree in fibers and is currently doing what most people with an art degree in Charlotte, NC do; works a 9 to 5 job and dreams of a better, more creative future. When not working, she invests time in her 5 boys: Her husband Charlie, Kitties: The Sneak and Huggie Bear, and Puppies: Wolfgang and Bill Murray. Then, if there is time, she gardens with a fury.

Off the Cuff Edging

Following the Status Quo: $16,565.00

Office Manager may sound like a hefty title, for those not in the know, but really I am just a glorified secretary. Sure I have a degree, but that doesn't equate to a high paying job in my chosen field: art. So I make enough to live

Audible Flavor to Savor

I must admit, rather proudly actually, that I am hooked on National Public Radio. I am rarely impressed with top 40 radio, less impressed with the hip hop of late, and classic rock bores me to tears the moment Stairway to Heaven starts up.

The Modern Alchemist

Words like hyperaccumulator and phytoremediation sound like something straight out of a 1960s Sci-Fi movie and hardly verbs describing gardens.  But when the conceptual, and socially minded artist Mel Chin creates a garden, you get these lengthy words among others.  Mel Chin is a Texas born artist now living in North Carolina; and when

Just in Time for the Weekend!

Okay, so not all of us are quite. . .ummm. . .physically prepared for the gardening season. One day out planting veggies equals 2 days inside vegging out, sore and slightly grumpy.   Come on, now.  You're thrifty, you're crafty, you're talented, you can do anything! (Except for move your sore tush.)

Siftin’ for Gold

Some how we missed spring here in the Piedmont of North Carolina. The cool breezy afternoons have passed us over, and we went from weather in the 30's to weather in the 80's. What is a girl to do? I say its time to put some funk into
