Creative Genius and Plantsman Matt Mattus authors a beautiful online journal that documents his adventures in gardening, and related interests. His shared learnings and links to valued gardens and societies make his website, GrowingWithPlants.com an incredible resource for inspired gardeners and expert horticulturists alike.  

Matt and his partner have a garden that most would anyone will envy. As a storyteller, Matt shares more than just planting tips, but also explores the history of plants and helps anyone–including those of us still cultivating their green thumb–become whole-heartedly enthusiastic and passionate for gardening. That amazing greenhouse? Learn all about it on GrowingWithPlants.com.

A Creative Genius for so many reasons, Matt's own design aesthetic often inspires plant crafts that incorporate old, recycled, and upcycled items. You'll enjoy the creative ways he integrates these garden crafts into his landscape.

Cape Cod gardener Melissa Caughey is a gardening enthusiast to which many of us can relate. Her broad expertise in organic living, creative upcycling, and even teaching kids to raise chickens (yes!) inspires us all to embrace the little things about gardening that can make it so enjoyable.
