Dr. Amanda Owen

Hi there! I'm Dr. Amanda Owen, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Planting and Seeding community. My journey with plants began over two decades ago, and it's been an incredible adventure ever since. Growing up in a small countryside village, I was surrounded by lush gardens and sprawling fields. My grandmother, a passionate gardener herself, was my first mentor. She taught me the basics of planting, nurturing, and the sheer joy that comes from watching something grow. Those childhood days spent in her garden ignited a lifelong passion within me.
