About Me

Shawna Fitzgerald

Shawna Fitzgerald
I’ve always had a green thumb, but my real love for gardening started as a kid in my grandmother’s backyard in upstate New York. She taught me that the best gardens grow from patience, curiosity, and a little bit of dirt under your nails.

My approach is simple: no jargon, just real advice for real gardeners.
