Hello, I’m Ross Houston, and I have a deep passion for gardening! From the initial planning stages to planting, nurturing, and ultimately enjoying the fruits of my labor, gardening is my true love.

My journey as a gardener began in childhood with simple flower beds, and over the years, I progressed to cultivating enough vegetables to sustain my family. This passion inspired me to earn a degree in Horticulture from North Carolina State University. My professional experience includes working as a grower, managing the grounds of a large campus, and serving as a staff Horticulturist for the State of North Carolina.

Through Harvesting Garden Wisdom, I am thrilled to share my knowledge with you. Whether your interests lie in perennials, native plants, or growing your own food, I can assist you in selecting the right plants and provide guidance on their care. Growing organically can be a very rewarding experience. I enjoy growing flowers that benefit not only vegetable garden but also good for wildlife, bees, insects and birds to name a few.

I offer consulting and coaching services to homeowners in the Frederick, Maryland area who wish to enhance their properties with vibrant, flourishing gardens. Each year presents new challenges and rewards in the garden, and I am excited to help you uncover the joys of gardening. Let’s connect and discuss how we can turn your gardening aspirations into reality! You can contact me at h1gardenwisdom@gmail.com
