About Me

Why Love Letters?

Hi! My name is Trish. I am a writer, photographer and the resident gardener and keeper of our 112-year-old farmhouse that sits on three acres in rural South Carolina. Fields of soy beans and cotton surrounded our property. We have some grand old trees, a fruit garden, fairy garden, cut flower garden, kitchen garden, and a long fence where we've worked hard to grow food for pollinators and birds. My husband and I have spent the last nine years creating gardens on our property and through the sometimes discouraging heat and humidity, somehow managed to keep most of it alive if not thriving. I have a lifelong love of growing plants and creating gardens, and want to share that love with you! I taught creative writing and autobiography for ten years, have written many magazine articles and now I just want to sit down and write you some letters, letting you see the beauty that is outside my sometimes creaky old doors and share with you why I love gardens.
