About Gayle Larson

I'm a Certified Professional Horticulturist (CPH) and landscape designer and have lived in Kitsap County for the past 10 years. While ornamental gardening is wonderful, growing food sustainably is my passion. The only thing more satisfying than running out to the garden to pick fresh tomatoes and broccoli for dinner is to share my experience and knowledge with others. YOUR successful garden is as exciting to me as my own!
