GGW has been graced with some outstanding contributors throughout the years, but it is Saxon Holt, Debra Lee Baldwin, and I who have consistently been contributing to this blog for the last 8 plus years. Although we each have our area of expertise, we share a deep passion for gardening and the beauty it brings to our daily lives.
