Don Engebretson, The Renegade Gardener, is a former Field Editor and garden scout for Better Homes and Gardens magazine and writes for a variety of newspapers and magazines across the country. He’s also well known to HGTV fans for the four seasons he spent as gardening guru on the hit show, TIPical Mary Ellen, plus his on-camera work as landscape design expert on the popular PBS how-to program, HOMETIME. An award-winning writer and author of five books, he is a professional landscape designer as well as creator of RenegadeGardener.com, one of the Web’s oldest and most-linked gardening sites.
Engebretson has a witty, insightful take on the state of gardening in America today. He preaches that the joy of gardening comes from experimentation, and a passion for gardening comes from failing, laughing, learning and succeeding. Attendees will learn tips and techniques to help them become better gardeners and create the yard and garden they’ve always wanted. Seminar topics include Preparing the Landscape for Winter – and Planning for Spring, Crafting Cool & Creative Containers and Common Gardening Myths and the Mayhem They Cause.
