Bonnie Grant has been writing professionally for over 15 years about all things gardening and food. With a background as a professional chef, landscaper, and the gardener in charge of a well-known estate’s vegetable patches, she has steeped herself in the world of edible flora. Her education includes several bachelor's degrees, a culinary certificate, and certification in urban gardening. Her recent escapades have seen her install a small orchard, cultivate an edible landscape, and as a hobby, rescue and rehome wild cats. When not writing or gardening, she will often be found pouring over a book or knitting a sweater. At a rough estimate, she is the custodian of around 50 houseplants, and countless outdoor leafy family members.
