Garden bloggers tell their stories
November 16th, 2006 by Kathy Purdy · 2 Comments
This past September, Stuart Robinson of Gardening Tips ‘n’ Ideas interviewed several garden bloggers to find out what got them started. Just in case you are as far behind in your reading as I am, the intro is here, and you can easily follow the links at the top of each post to find the rest. Since I am a nosy–er, curious, person, I was very glad to learn a bit more about some of my favorite writers, and to be introduced to a few I didn’t know.
And I think Stuart was a smart cookie to find a way to keep his blog going during his vacation by promoting a sense of community among garden bloggers. Kudos!

About Kathy Purdy
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

Stuart is lots of fun. He does some interesting things with his blog. Never a dull moment! I too thought it was neat to learn more about some fellow gardeners.

Shucks ladies!! What lovely things to say.
I too enjoyed your series on the “Pioneering Bloggers”, Kathy. It was great to read of those who have forged a little of the gardening blogosphere that we can all enjoy and to hear a little of the history of some of these esteemed gardeners and bloggers.
Kudos back at ya.
