About Karen

Karen: Candler, United States

Hometown:: Candler, N.C.

Gardening Experience:: Just getting my hands dirty

About Me:: I inherited my mother's and grandmothers' love of flowers, but only time will tell if I also got their skills.

Favorite Plants:: I LOVE roses, but I have too much shade on my property for them to do well. I also tend to like old-fashioned plants that my grandmothers had in their gardens. One grandmother passed along a plant that she called Mullein pinks (other people call them rose campions), and she got her start of the pinks from her mother's garden.

Garden as a hobby?: Yes
