Articles and more
You can read some of my horticulture articles at Planters Place and in older issues of Chicagoland Gardening, which ceased publication. And shade gardens. I've been writing the monthly Smart Garden column for the Chicago Botanic Garden since 2016. And from 1995 to 2016 I wrote for the Chicago Tribune and their sister papers. My garden-related articles have appeared in Old-House Journal, Old-House Interiors, Organic Gardening and Fine Gardening. I also co-authored the publication, "The Historic House & Garden: Buildings and Period Landscapes of Lockport, IL 1838-2000" for the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.
Here's a recent piece on Mid-Century Modern home landscape makeovers. I'll be adding links to other articles just as soon as I'm finished planting.
