Tree Bark
Founder & Editor
I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking seeds from my grandmother’s garden or turning a patch of dirt behind my elementary school into a makeshift jungle.
That love for plants led me to start Tree Bark, where I share the practical wisdom I’ve picked up over years of growing, pruning, and (occasionally) wrestling with nature’s stubbornness. Here, you’ll find no-nonsense advice, tried-and-true techniques, and a healthy dose of humor for when things go sideways in the garden.
