Ever since I was a little girl growing up in South Philadelphia, I’ve been fascinated with gardening. I would eagerly visit any neighbor who had a fig tree or tomato plant in their backyard just to admire their garden. Though life happened, my love for gardening remained strong and I continued to cultivate my passion even as my family grew and I moved from apartment to townhome to home. From the northern climates to the south, I seized every opportunity to garden. Finally, after retiring from a long career in banking in 2018, I created Harvest The Lesson to teach others how to grow their own food and share the joy of gardening with their loved ones. With my website, I hope to inspire you to start your own gardening journey and become a part of our gardening family!
