Hi, I have been in Horticulture all of my life, beginning with the vegitable garden my grandmother grew. My college education in this field helped me to understand how plants grow using the environment around them to flourish and propogate. The experiences throught the years in all kinds of gardening, inside and out, have allowed me to develop basic guidelines, which I have written down in this manual, that I use every day while caring for plants. Even though it is geared towards houseplants because growing plants indoors can be challenging, this manual will help anyone who wishes to grow healthy, strong plants, whether annual, perennial or tropical, inside or out.
