Tate's Profile

About me

My name is Tate, 24. I live and garden in Quincy MA, USA (zone 6). I have a small garden (I'd rather say 'small garden' than 'giant flower bed'. It feels so much better:) I am passionate about cottage gardens and 'old fashioned' plants like Foxglove and Morning glories. I looove dahlias, alliums, veronicas, buddleias, heleniums (and other daisy-looking perennials) and many others. I am a Coneflower freak (though do not have any, yet) and Variegated Foliage maniac. Gardening is my religion; ornamental horticulture is my political party.

My 1,5 year old little family consists of me, my 'newly baked' husband and Cody the Cowcat (2 yo b/w tuxie; we adopted him in August of 2009 from a local animal shelter).

I am a 3rd year Graphic design student at MassCollege of Art and Design in Boston MA. I have a part time job. Besides gardening I love paper crafts, photography, reading, restoring old wooden things/furniture; I adore quilting and cats.

PS: I have a butterfly phobia: I afraid of them a lot.

I am craving for garden-related conversations and gardening friends - I have none in my life. This site is a treasure.
