Fern Richardson is an author with an award-winning container gardening blog and a book called Small-Space Container Gardens, slated to be published in February of 2012 by Timber Press.
Fern has been gardening in small spaces since she was a little girl. It all started when she read a book about saving the environment (and you thought “green living” was new!) by planting habitats for endangered animals and insects. Fern set to work cultivating plants in a small planter in her parents small suburban yard. Fern’s grandma caught wind of her new found interest in gardening and started sending her home with cuttings. The rest–as they say–is history!
Somewhere along the way, Fern earned a BA in graphic design and a law degree, although she doesn’t practice law, nor work as a graphic designer. In 2010 Fern became a certified master gardener. Fern lives with her husband and four cats in Southern California. By day, she works in marketing for Kellogg Garden Products.
