Lorene Edwards Forkner lives, gardens, writes and designs in the Pacific Northwest. Lorene considers her approach to making gardens to be rooted in childhood outdoor play, supported by a degree in fine art, and years of experience owning and operating Fremont Gardens, a small specialty retail nursery in Seattle, Washington. A popular speaker with a warm engaging manner, Lorene is always eager to weigh in on horticultural mysteries, landscape design, and teach DIY gardeners how to dig in and craft a personal landscape filled with an abundance of interest and delicious flavour.
