Doug Green
Welcome to my beginner gardening website - where I do my best to provide gardening information that helps rather than confuses. My objective here is to take the mystery out of gardening and to help you realize that gardening isn't rocket science and should be fun, not a hassle.

I'm Doug Green, a 30-year nursery veteran, award-winning book author, and organic gardener. In fact, I ran my nursery for many years only using organic techniques and I do my best to help you do the same in your garden.

Understand that all 6000 pages on my sites are based on organic and environmentally sound ways of gardening and having fun doing it.

Please note the search box at the bottom of the page and the "More Content" button at the top. These two resources will help you find darn near anything you need in the way of gardening information.

Finally, you're going to find Q&A forms as well as reader-submissions forms scattered throughout the site where you can either ask questions, upload pictures or help other gardeners.

You can sign up for updates to all the major content areas, sign up for the gardening newsletter, watch gardening videos or browse and find the things that interest you.

Thanks for visiting and sharing your time with me - I hope I can help you be a better gardener and have more fun doing it.
