Preston Manning

Preston Manning got into gardening the unglamorous way, by killing a lot of plants first. Every article he writes comes from actually getting his hands in the dirt, whether that's troubleshooting a stubborn patch of lawn or figuring out why a houseplant won't stop sulking. He keeps things clear and practical because he remembers being a beginner who just wanted a straight answer instead of a lecture. Preston writes for anyone trying to grow something, whatever their yard, patio, or windowsill looks like.
