Welcome to my new home on the web.  I’ve been writing and speaking about gardening for more than twenty-five years, and there is nothing I love more than talking with people who share my passions, have read my books, or gotten something out of a lecture that I have presented.   I truly have found friends around the world.   This site will provide info on my many diverse activities and I hope you will bookmark it and return often.  I welcome your feedback (go to our comments page and leave me a note) as well as your own photos, stories, and tips.   Thanks for visiting tracylive.com
