An avid gardener, Barbara Harris's interest in gardening and nature began at an early age in her family's backyard. She later studied botany and biology and worked in those fields before raising two daughters. Gardening is not her only past time. The author also enjoys painting and drawing, and has spent extensive time in the back country of the United States and Canada canoeing, hiking, and backpacking. Currently, she volunteers with the Master Gardener Program through which she coordinates a gardening program for people with disabilities.
