Andi Grant

Andi has been getting her hands dirty for as long as she can remember. Living on a 20-acre ranch in Michigan, she gardens through all four seasons, growing everything from herbs and vegetables to flowers, and loves harvesting, drying, and putting her homegrown herbs to use in the kitchen. Her property gives her plenty of room to experiment, and between the dairy goats, chickens, peacocks, and two very large dogs, there's never a dull moment. Andrea enjoys helping readers find the right tools and products to make their gardens thrive, no matter how much (or how little) space they're working with.
