Hey, it’s Silas Hargrove

flowersss
I’m Silas Hargrove, a horticulturist who traded a corporate desk for garden beds more than fifteen years ago. Somewhere along the way I picked up a doctorate in plant science and a stubborn love for growing things. I only write about what I’ve tried in my own plots, mistakes and all. Weekends, you’ll find me composting, foraging, or arguing with squirrels over my tomatoes. My goal is to help you grow something you’re proud of.
