Stephanie Smith:

Stephanie’s father always had a garden and when she was seven, she pestered him into letting her “help” plant the onions in the garden. Planting piqued her interest, and she has been gardening ever since! Stephanie is particularly interested in vegetables, fruit, berries, nuts and herbs. Originally a master gardener in Hunt County beginning in 2001, Stephanie moved to Dallas County in late 2017 and affiliated with the Dallas County Master Gardeners.

She speaks on preparing a vegetable garden from the ground up, native pollinators, African violets, integrated pest management, replacing trees and shrubs with native plants, and composting.
