About Me

Jean: I'm a refugee from a 9-year stint in print with The Times of Northwest Indiana. Petal Talk (the print version) was fun while it lasted - longer than many print columns, for which I should be grateful. Anyway, I still would love to communicate with fellow gardeners as well as fellow dog-lovers, visitors to public gardens and writers on all topics.
