Ellen Stubblefield - Windowboxes

In her own words:

I started with the Monterey Bay Society in 2001. Naomi Bloss asked me to join, while I was showing plants at the Santa Cruz County fair. I also showed at the Monterey and King City Fairs. I now belong to five clubs and attend seven shows.

I propagate 90% of the plants I sell. I love to make wreaths and window boxes, or use anything that will hold a plant. My house work is always behind, because I love to be outside replanting and propagating. I started quilting about the same time, after retiring from banking. My husband says he is not building any more hot houses. He has said that before.
