Valerie Alvarado

Valerie Alvarado
I’ve spent more summers than I can count digging in the dirt, whether it was helping my grandpa plant his famous tomato garden or sneaking seeds from the grocery store to grow my own tiny green world in a shoebox.

If you’re just starting out or have been gardening for decades, I hope you’ll find something here to make your green thumb a little greener.
