Welcome to the new Thomas Jefferson Gardens of Greene County’s website and Blog! Let me introduce myself. Some of you know me as “The Plant Doctor”! My name is Jean Walker and I am the head gardener at Thomas Jefferson Gardens in Jefferson, Ia. I have loved gardening since I was little and learned pretty much all I know from my Grandparents. I used to work alongside my grandfather and learned all his planting tricks! Like everything you do some things work great and some do not, it is all trial and error. Each week I will be posting gardening tips, pictures from our gardens, and any activities we have coming up. So check back often and check my blog.
If you have any questions about any plants, annuals, perennials, and house plants send me a comment and I will answer them as soon as I can!
