About Me

Harriet Pennington

Harriet Pennington
I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by plants—first in my grandfather’s greenhouse in rural Ohio, then in my own backyard after moving out. There’s nothing quite like the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow from a tiny seed into something vibrant and alive.
