More about Susan:
Because of my diverse background, I understand the industry on many levels from the creation of new plants, through their production, sale, installation, and maintenance.  I specialize in perennials and have first-hand knowledge about new plants coming to market.  Gardening is both my job and my hobby.  I have spoken at many Master Gardener events in the Midwest.  I am interested in speaking for annual events and conferences rather than monthly meetings.  I am also a regularcontributor to trade and consumer magazines including Michigan Gardening for which I am a columnist.
