Gardening has been a passion of mine ever since I was a boy. I earned a bachelor’s degree in horticultural science with minors in chemistry and business from a major university in the United States. I recently sold my landscape maintenance business, which I ran for four years, in order to pursue a Master’s degree in Agronomy. My heart is more into the production of food, mostly on a home garden level.
I enjoy spending time with my small, young family and especially my beautiful wife. I enjoy music, whether participating in it or listening to it. I like to read a lot, on all sorts of subjects including finance, history, religion, psychology, some of the classics, etc. I like to keep things organized and in good repair, and one of my hobbies is taking excellent care of equipment I own.
I love to just go out, take a drive, and see new things, and someday my wife and I hope to travel to many parts of the world and learn a lot about different cultures, lands, foods, and people. Aside from English, I am pretty fluent in German, having lived in Germany for two years; I hope to return there some day and take my wife to different areas in which I lived and visited.
My name is Anni. I’m married to John, and together we started and have run this website for 3 years. I got my bachelors degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from one of the best accredited dietetics programs in the United States. Everyone thought I would go into music, which had been the focus of my life up to that point. But I chose nutrition and health, which had been my secret interest for years. Nutrition, along with herbs and spices, are my primary interest.
Now we combine efforts on this site. I developed the ability to work the back end of things to some degree, so right now I manage the website, but I can’t wait to be able to have a developer put together an awesome, more user-friendly webpage for us. John and I shoot videos together, we talk about the different angles of each subject, and we have found that our collaborative efforts have created a powerhouse of knowledge. And we love sharing that with others.
Right now, because John is back in school, we sold our house in Utah and moved to Tennessee where we’re living in an apartment. We dream of the day when we’ll have our own home and garden again. We want to save money by growing our own garden, live healthier than ever by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, enjoy more exercise (including working in our garden and orchard), and by cooking with herbs and spices we grow ourselves.
So… welcome to our webpage! We’re excited that other people are as excited as we are about our gardening. Happy gardening!
