Fern Richardson

Fern Richardson was born in Long Beach, CA and has been gardening in small spaces all around Southern California since childhood. In 2008 she created the popular container gardening blog, Life on the Balcony. Through her blog--and now in her book, Small-Space Container Gardens--Fern shares her experience designing and tending to gardens on balconies, patios, porches, and rooftops. Fern is an equal opportunity gardener; no flower, succulent, vegetable, herb, or fruit tree has escaped her enthusiasm for bringing life to small, urban spaces.
