Biography
Jamie grew up in East Tennessee in a family that loved all things outdoors. Her mother was an avid wild flower gardener and she tagged-along on many of her trips in search of Lady Slippers, Fairy Wand, Dutchman’s Breeches, etc. She always traveled with a pitch fork and a paper bag in the car trunk because she never knew what she might find or what a friend might be dividing. Because of these experiences and fond memories, she attributes her love of gardening to her mother. She retired in 2019 and had the time and opportunity to attend the 2021 Williamson County Master Gardener class. Through this class and her new-found free time, she was able to dedicate more time to The Giving Garden. For 2 years she has been part of the Giving Garden Hoop House Tomato Team. Recently she transitioned to being the team lead for the Herb and Flower Garden section of The Giving Garden. She’s a 2021 MG graduate, Giving Garden boards member 1/22- present, MG intern mentor 2022.
