Senior Manager, ECommerce

Allie Kerkhoff joined Gardening Know How in 2020 and is currently Senior Manager of Ecommerce. She holds a Master’s in Economics from the University of British Columbia and has a professional background in strategic planning, digital publishing, and revenue strategy. At Gardening Know How, Allie works closely with editorial and marketing teams to research gardening trends and evaluate tools, products, and innovations for readers. Through her writing, she helps gardeners discover practical solutions, smart upgrades, and worthwhile investments for their outdoor spaces.

Before stepping into her current role, Allie worked in brand partnerships for Gardening Know How, collaborating with everyone from small makers to major gardening brands. Managing vendor relationships, product selection, and marketing strategy gave her firsthand insight into how gardening products are designed, marketed, and used. That experience informs her product research and writing today, helping her identify which tools and accessories truly make gardening easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable — especially for beginners.

Allie lives in the Pacific Northwest, where she’s slowly transforming her outdoor space into a lush personal retreat (with plenty of help from the GKH community). When she’s not researching garden tools or testing products in her backyard, she enjoys reading fantasy novels, spending summer days out on the Puget Sound, and relaxing with her two cats, Iris and Archie. She loves learning alongside readers and believes the right tools — and a little encouragement — can help anyone grow something beautiful.
