Reeser Manley

I have gardened in South Carolina, Washington state (while earning a Ph.D. in Horticultural Science), Massachusetts, and, for the last 13 years, in Maine. For the last 8 years I have written about the garden in a weekly column and online blog for the Bangor Daily News. Over the span of four decades I have taught horticulture at technical colleges and universities, including the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the University of Maine, Orono. In 2013, I retired from teaching and now devote all of my time to working in the garden and writing about the garden.
