In search of her Mother’s garden, she has found her own with a full sun perennial garden, a lavender garden and a dedicated cutting garden. She is constantly increasing the % of native plants in her garden to restore and protect the local ecosystem. Gail and her husband are stewards of a 50 acre managed forest on their property, which involves annually planting seedlings, monitoring and elimination of invasive species and a regular maintenance program.
